Aleem’s addictive brand of indie-pop has seen him taken on tour by the likes of Little Mix and Fifth Harmony, and his latest single, ‘Bad Habits’ proves why. It is melody drive, with thick driving textures supporting his lead vocals. He has developed a drum sound that already feels like it belongs in a sold-out stadium and delicate guitars that work amongst the power of the rest of the track. “I wanted to navigate toward a sound that was more true to my roots as a singer/songwriter,” he explains. “I set out to write songs that were not only authentic but reflected the sound that sparked my interest in music from the start.” Be on the lookout for more from Aleem. -Dan Peeke
