Artist: Arvid Nero
Song: Mother Earth
Based: Sweden
Stands out: Soulful vocals
If you like: Dan Auerbach, The Black Keys, The Magnolia
Arvid Nero possesses quite possibly the most soulful vocals of this century. Recognisable from his previous contributions to The Magnolia, Nero’s vocals and melody soothed our soul whilst a bluesy guitar simmers away in the background. Lyrically intelligent and yet simplistic with its structure, Nero proves that simplicity is the key to writing songs that can embed themselves in one’s psyche.
‘Mother Earth’ is a single taken from his upcoming album, due to be released in April of this year. We pray the rest of the album is of this flavour because we cannot get enough.
