‘Help’ by 23-year-old Swedish songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fred Nicolas is mega. Huge doses of punchy pop and swathes of glossy production come together in this sure-fire hit that celebrates the beauty of true friendship. As the Scandinavian musician explains, "'Help' is about taking pride in the fact that even when I'm at my worst self, there'll be people around who'll put up with me." It’s the kind of track you want to turn up loud while hanging out with mates, you’ll probably find yourselves jumping up for that super-satisfying hook - “if I need help, then all my friends are coming over, falling in.” Fred Nicolas is seriously one to watch, especially in 2018, when his debut EP is slated for release. - HT
