‘Grounded Truth’ is an impressive solo effort from singer-songwriter John Power. Despite being most known for being bassist and backing vocalist for The La’s on their self-titled album, Power has proven himself able to create delicate and emotive solo tracks. Much of the track places layers of his lead vocal above simple acoustic guitar, with a keyboard solo rounding things off. “Enjoyment,  thrills and experience  are all very much a part of growing up. You want it and you are hungry for it and you put yourself in a line of fire for it,” he explains. “To my younger self I’d say I probably should have taken my foot off the pedal a bit. It’s funny how life passes by whilst you’re living it.” Be sure to check out more from John Power’s solo career. -Dan Peeke
