"Siren Song" Artwork / Pre-Save
Hey everyone,
I'm very pleased to unveil the sexy single artwork for my debut single "Siren Song" which will be released on the 14th February (what a Valentine gift).
When thinking about the artwork for this (and the future singles) I wanted it to be a graphic of some kind. I feel like the classic "musician standing against brick wall" kind of artwork has been done to death, and I also wanted something which I could use to make some merchandise out of too. I actually considered attempting to draw/paint the artwork myself at one point, but after a few quick sketches I reminded myself that I'm absolutely hopeless at that kind of art. Best leave it to someone who knows what they're doing.
I knew I wanted it to be a mermaid, given that the siren songs from Greek mythology were often depicted as being sung my mermaids. I did a lot of sleuthing on Instagram and actually found a lot of really taltented graphic designers who I may get in touch with for future single art.
I eventually came across this piece which was pretty much what I had envisioned in my mind's eye - a mermaid with a whirpool spiral backdrop. I managed to track down the original artist Mike Ponte (Hybrid Life Art) based in New York, and after a few emails he licensed the piece for me to use as the single artwork. Here's his page if you like his work: https://hybridlifeart.com/
I'm really happy with it and I've put in an order for some merch featuring this graphic to sell online/at my tour dates - anyone lacking a mermaid in their life is now catered for.
As well as that I have a wee favour to ask.
If you're planning on giving the song a listen when it comes out, I would really appreciate it if you could pre-save the song via the following link. It basically lets the streaming sites know that there's interest and can really bump the tune up in results/playlists upon release.

I'm really looking forward to this tune being launched out into the world - thanks for the support and if you're based in any of the cities I'm visiting on my tour, tickets are on sale via my website - hopefully see you there xxx
