Newcastle’s Andrew Cushin is back with his new single ‘Waiting For The Rain’. Cushin originally wrote this as a 15-year-old and has worked this up during lockdown.
With nuance deteriorating and misunderstanding rife, Cushin’s moment of personal reflection is a welcomed step back from the affray. Utilising the defiance of Richard Ashcroft’s ‘They Don’t Own Me’ and the melancholic beauty of Johnny Greenwood’s ‘High and Dry’, he allows the world to contemplate what truly matters.
His soulful vocals will linger on your heartstrings. More polished than his new best mate Noel Gallagher’s, but, equal in their ability to create an aching sense of escapism. Coupled with the lyrics about a family argument he ran out on as a child to his best friend, and something truly special is materialising.
