My Way

Ian Brown

A polished fusion of northern swagger and pop ambition. Driving piano hooks meet hypnotic, deadpan vocals in a late-night urban landscape.

Find on Amazon

It's like the coolest guy in Manchester decided to make a pop record and actually nailed it.

A high-gloss urban swagger that balances pop ambition with a cool, detached northern grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The triumphant, rolling piano hook of Stellify that feels like a modern northern soul anthem.
The eerie, futuristic cover of In the Year 2525 that transforms the 60s hit into a murky electronic dirge.
The unexpected vulnerability in the string arrangements on Always Remember Me.
