Experimental folk is a genre that can take many twists and turns, and this is second nature to Finnegan Tui, an explorative and innovative songwriter who has now made his dent in the music world, with his debut single ‘Once I’m Gone’. Tui creates a world and curve of his own in this mightily impressive folk intertwined track. It’s dark and edgy, with an almost ballad-like feel to it. He has certainly transcended his sound into a force of nature, and uses different elements around this to create an atmosphere that is totally unique.
The subtlety of Finnegan’s vocal is filled with grace and an unerring quality that holds a presence and captivates your mind. The production is quite brilliant, and you can almost feel the waves and the trees surrounding you, as nature makes its way in welcomingly. Finnegan’s debut has definitely been something worth waiting for, and can’t wait to see what’s in store next for this exciting modern day folk troubadour.
