EUAN BLACKMAN ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE ‘SINKING’

TO BE RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 2

Euan Blackman will release his new single ‘Sinking’ on September 2nd. It is Blackman’s second single from his forthcoming debut EP ‘Grateful For The Moments Spent Alone, following his debut single ‘24 Hours 7 Days’ which came out in July.

‘Sinking’ was self-written and produced in his bedroom studio over lockdown in rural Warwickshire. It features an unapologetically stripped-down arrangement, with Euan’s soft double tracked vocals sitting intimately upfront. His inspirations when crafting the song were Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Phoebe Bridgers and Bruce Springsteen.

“To put it unpretentiously, Sinking is about falling in love for the first time, the notion that you are ‘sinking’ deeper into the sentiment” says Blackman. “My favourite line comes in the second verse where I suggest that love can evoke the same feelings as art, such as Bowie and Kerouac.”

Euan’s previous single ’24 Hours 7 Days’ achieved success, being played on BBC Merseyside, BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, BBC Hereford and Worcester and BBC Shropshire. He has been described as having ‘the rare ability to stop you in your tracks when you hear his music’ - The Perfect Tempo.

His sound and songwriting have already been praised by the likes of Radio 1 DJ Jack Saunders, acclaimed folk artist Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda.

Euan Blackman’s music may just be starting out, but it feels like you’ve known him for some time.

lyrics

Sinking

I won’t give you
Every single star in the sky
Or sing to you
That ‘it will be fine’

The days are getting long
And the nights are dry
So I try to hold on
Just to keep you mine

You gotta know when to give in
Stop my heart from sinking again

And again and again yeah yeah

It’s a hard act to follow
It’s a summer night
It’s a wonderful thing
If you get it right

Like driving down a highway
In a Cadillac
It’s ‘Life on Mars’
It’s Kerouac

But you gotta know when to give in
Stop my heart from sinking again

From Liverpool to London
I’m searching for that someone
The girl inside my dream
My love supreme

You gotta know when to give in
It don’t matter where you been
From the school choir days
To the barbican stage

Won’t you stop my heart from sinking?
Won’t you stop my heart from sinking?
I won’t give you every single star in the sky
But I will give you everything I’ve got tonight
