HENRY GREEN STAY HERE

Henry Green has shared a new single in the shape of 'Stay Here'. Written in the eerie confines of a 1950s radio broadcast site, the moving cut sees the rising Bristolian at his intimate best, as a typically hushed vocal pours out above an increasingly dramatic backing, culminating in a stunning Carrie & Lowell-esque lament. Of the track - which is available now via ever-impressive London taste-maker Akira Records - Green explains, "'Stay Here' was created out of frustration from a loss of direction. I wanted to create a feeling of isolation and fragility in the production but gently move in to a warmer, more uplifting space as the track developed. The foundations of the song were built alone in Bristol, but the instrumentation was built up in Berlin with producer Nico Rebscher. It was really special to share such a delicate track with Nico and to see it evolve and gain confidence." All signs point to Henry Green indeed being here to stay. -G.O'B
