NEW SINGLE - 'IT'S FINE' IS OUT NOW ON ALL PLATFORMS!
Elliott returns to the release radar with his brand new soul/rap single 'I'ts Fine'. 4 out of 5 suicides in the UK are male. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. Men have historically been less likely to talk about their problems for fear of judgment - things are starting to change however, and this new rap-focused lament is designed to keep the conversation going. Elliott fearlessly tackles male vulnerability from the opening lament, singing 'baby just hold me, I know I'm a man but I need to be held sometimes'. The haunting vocals and stripped back piano track draw you in from moment one, bringing the listener into an immediate place of serene vulnerability. The track goes on to talk about the importance of speaking out when you find yourself 'in a spiral', before the song takes a winding turn into a beat switch up for the second half. Elliott's vocals shine once again, as does his ability to turn a potentially morbid topic into one that leaves the listener optimistic by the end.
MODERN AGE NEANDERTHAL NOW AT 9000 STREAMS ON SPOTIFY.
Edinburgh-based singer, rapper, and producer Elliott Nettleship releases his new single ‘MODERN AGE NEANDERTHAL’, a song that twists its way from soulful, gospel-backed singing to energetic and impassioned rap. Combining elements of old-school garage in the vocal chops which are soon to become Elliott’s calling card, with a haunting and melodic bassline/beat combo that is sure to get heads nodding, ‘MODERN AGE NEANDERTHAL’ is a melting pot of styles that perfectly encapsulates Elliott’s talents and versatility. Elliott explains, “MODERN AGE NEANDERTHAL’ is a track that provides a great representation of how I'm approaching my life and my music. In making this song, I’ve brought together the concept of taking a risk to do something you’re truly passionate about, alongside a fusion of all of my favourite elements musically - the vocal chops, the gospel choir, the heavy bass, and energetic rap reminiscent of that mid-noughties style. I’m so excited to release this track and start performing it live.” In post-pandemic 2022 after becoming aware of his desire to break the mould, Elliott took a career break from his usual occupation in order to focus on making music for a year. 7 months later, he has smashed through his own barriers of expectation to begin releasing the fruits of his labour. A product of his era, Elliott's sound is borne of the evolution from Garage mainstays like Artful Dodger, through to Grime, Dubstep, and beyond to modern fusion producers like Flume and James Blake. In his desire to stand out from a packed rap crowd, Elliott will continue to develop his unique sound and stamp his name on the scene. He vows to provide an inclusive and approachable access to the genre, while still sparking moments of joy in even the most hardy of hip-hop heads.
