Bertie Newman is a 22 year old singer-songwriter that hails from Hackney, London. Inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, Hozier and Gregory Alan Isakov, his irresistible sound has been received warmly by fans and critics alike, with his latest single “I Will” once again showcasing his signature sound. A vulnerable offering, the track features a vibrant melting pot of chorus-soaked guitar lines, lo-fi tinged drums and divine backing vocals. His vocals are emotionally-penned and come wrapped up in pop-sensibilities.
Speaking about the single, he says: “‘I Will’ explores the shift of my past pre conceptions and associations with particular objects, places and people to how I feel now. I wanted to show the change in my mental state by making an ultimately happy and hopeful song, sound somber, just as I once felt.”
His previous single ‘Seaside Eyes’ has reached over 2 million streams on Apple Music alone, including editorial support (Acoustic Chill, New in Singer-songwriter). The track also had support from Youtube Music. Recent cover of ‘IDK You Yet’ by Alexander 23 and has gone viral on Instagram, pushing the track to over 1 million streams on Spotify alone. ‘IDK You Yet’ was also used on Earthpix (23.5 M followers) and Noah Beck (9M followers) social accounts. We expect “I Will” to track to reach the same heights.
