Michael Blackwell Reveals Energetic New Single ‘Down On Your Luck’

Published

London-based singer-songwriter Michael Blackwell will release his forthcoming energetic new single ‘Down On Your Luck’.. 

The foundation of ‘Down On Your Luck’ is his love of music and unmatched talent for fusing captivating instruments with profound lyricism. The indie-rock offering infuses guitar, bass, drums, vibraphone, tambourine, and vocals. It’s an easy-listening tune in that it showcases Michael Blackwell’s soaring vocals with an exceptional earworm production. 

Michaell Blackwell comments on the release, “‘Down On Your Luck’ is a song about coming to terms with the fact that, through your own creation, things haven’t turned out how you thought they would. The warning signs were clear but you chose to ignore them, and whilst avoidance seemed like the easiest option, at the end of the day you were only kidding yourself.”

Reputable media publications including CLASH, NOTION, and WONDERLAND, to mention a few, have praised Michael Blackwell’s music. After a number of releases, ‘Down On Your Luck’ is released in conjunction with the news that his much-anticipated debut EP, A Trip Around The Sun, will be released in October 2023. This will be followed by a string of major performances in Europe and the UK.

Michael Blackwell‘s success is set to soar as long as he keeps giving rock music a contemporary, catchy spin. To his expanding discography, ‘Down On Your Luck’ is a great addition.

SEVVEN Shares Reflective and Introspective New Single ‘Moments’

Published

on

Some songs are made to entertain. Others are made to remind us of what matters. ‘Moments’, SEVVEN’s latest offering, falls firmly into the latter category. In just a few minutes, it manages to carve out emotional space—a quiet corner for reflection in a world that rarely slows down.

There’s something undeniably calming about the way the track is constructed. The production is rich, yet restrained. Synth layers shimmer gently under acoustic flourishes, while SEVVEN’s vocals rise and fall with a kind of emotional intelligence that feels instinctual. There’s no rush, no urgency—only presence.

Lyrically, ‘Moments’ is deceptively simple. It speaks to the truth we all know but rarely act on: that time is finite. SEVVEN doesn’t need elaborate metaphors to get this across. Instead, his phrasing feels purposeful, his voice a vessel for sincerity. It’s not about grand performances—it’s about real connection.

As part of RADA Unearthed Volume Three, ‘Moments’ also serves a larger purpose. It’s a song with a soul, but also with a mission. SEVVEN’s long-standing relationship with RADA lends an extra layer of authenticity to the release. This isn’t just art for art’s sake—it’s art for awareness, and maybe even healing.
