True to its title, 'Holy Days' is an elegant and ethereal pearl, perfect for the crisp new year infancy. 20 year-old Jonny Stemp from Bishop’s Stortford showcases a vocal which is as pure as it is pensive, bearing its soul throughout this melodic pop debut. Laced within a web of clarity, the opening piano patters are fluid, glistening and tranquil in sonic capacity and float alongside percussive arrangements. In all its lucidity, Stemp's words resonate as an evocative launching; with lyrics exploring nostalgia, the track is intelligent and fragile. New dawns and stunning music to hold out for when it drops later this month. -LB
