This weeks Tip Of The Week dropped into my inbox a bit like this....
"HiI hope you're well, I would love to introduce you to a new artist from Shoreditch in East London that we're all really excited about called Damien Ike."
And now, I am very excited to introduce YOU to Damien Ike!
As his first online release, "Kingdom Come", is a fine way to debut his musical talents, it is one of those tracks which you instantaneously fall in love with, yet get to hear something new every time you play it (yep I've had it on repeat...!).
The production surrounding it lends a certain depth, which is complimented by Damien's distinctive and not to mention gorgeeee vocals - fitfitfit voice, starting off pretty laid back and cool, which then crescendo's into an epic explosion of sound. The music video is dark, almost slightly sinister, which I'm a big fan of, although does lighten up a tad with the fireworks and the smooch at the end - you can check it out below.
Written by Damien Ike himself, this track and this new artist has evidently made a stir and pricked a number of peoples ears, already placing at #3 on The Hype Machine Chart - with his first release..! If you like Imagine Dragons and Kodaline, I'm certain this will be right up your street.
Check out "Kingdom Come" here:
Damien Ike is definitely one to watch, it all just leaves me wanting more - WHEN can we hear the EP, and WHEN can we get gig tickets... and WHEN can I buy the T-shirt?!
Check the music vid hereeee:
If you hadn't already guessed, I'm a major #FanGirl ... maybe he's the one who needs to watch out...
