ARTIST FEATURE: Indie-folk artist George Taylor and watch his new video for Come Follow Me Down

May 31, 2018

Hailing from a village of Bulwick, just two hours north of London is the place that George Taylor calls home. Singer Songwriter George captured my attention with his soulful gritty vocals. He brings his storytelling to life through his music as it highlights his emotion and passion. George has recently released a video for his new song Come Follow Me Down. “Come Follow Me Down is an invitation from one person to another to join them in their misery. It’s not a wishing of darkness upon someone else, but more of a desperate search for understanding. It’s a love song that calls on that person to feel what you feel in order to understand why you are who you are.” Check out the new video here: Purchase/Stream Links: iTunes | GooglePlay | Amazon | Spotify What a voice! I hope we can bring you an interview soon so you can get to know more about George Taylor. Make sure to visit his social media sites and stay up to date on his latest news. [Read More]

SOMME has released a music video for the new single which she comments, “I started this song on a train when I was looking back on a relationship that I had wished for a while would come to fruition but never did.
