Beverley Knight discovers the new single from Darlington songwriter Scott Wilson
Making sense of a situation through music is what Darlington singer-songwriter Scott Wilson opted for in his debut single Home. After years of learning his craft through gigging around the region, he fine-tuned his sound, extracting the influence of Steven Wilson and Tash Sultana.
Relief, pain, heartache and the spectrum of emotions that inevitably come to the surface were tapped into for the gentle, folk outpouring; a beat-free tune with strummed loops ensure that the words are the focus here. Scott’s lulling, echoed voice sadly addresses the situation: “I don’t love you tonight, but you’ll always feel like home,” acting as an example of a heart exposed, avoiding the enormity, but still wanting the best for who’s lost.
