Liverpool’s fastest-rising star Jamie Webster is back with his new single ‘Going Out’. Recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios with Dave Eringa, the single is released by Modern Sky UK.
With rebellious spit of Tom Clarke etched into his heart, Webster saddles up and rages war against those wilfully overlooking his generation. Centered around two characters, Paul and Annabella, it traverses their frustrations across lockdown.
Webster’s brushstrokes are broad and emotive enough to reel most but, this is not misty-eyed romanticism. Teenagers the world over have had the coming of age moments shredded by covid. Whilst science is undeniable, so is their turmoil. Heightened by a callous greed-driven government who, when they deliver the best results of all time, are still told they’re wrong. Fuck. Off!
Webster’s vocal cadence is a righteous escape into the night. It beckons you into the night on a wing and prayer to forge stories that’ll live forever. Be McLovin, choose life, find love, drink this, risk it all. Those who haven’t cared, unless a footballer shames them into it will not help. Take the night and own it!
Webster’s second album ‘Moments’ is due for release on January 22nd. His debut, ‘We Get By’, in hindsight lent towards Gerry Cinnamon just too much for it to get the praise its lyrics deserved. On this showing, Webster is now his own man and better for it. Polemic and joy are bounded together for our inspiration.
