‘Falling’ is the brooding new single from FEAR Records signee Jack Howard. His sound is a beautiful blend of indie, alt-pop and soul, with introspective lyrics designed to capture moments from his life relating to growing up and explorations of identity and grief. This track in particular is a suave, modern cut with an effortless, late-on-the-beat drum groove sitting beneath layers of texture and Howard’s own powerful voice. “This was one of the last songs I wrote on the EP and it only took about 20 mins to create the whole thing,” he explains. “I was on my guitar and I just heard this choir sing ‘falling’ in my head. I based the whole song around the one word and all these feelings I'd had locked up for so long finally came rushing out.” His debut EP, All Things That Came Before, is due to be released in July 2024. -Dan Peeke
