Following two solid EP releases that put him on the radars of a diverse number of icons and tastemakers, self-taught multi-instrumentalist Adam French has dropped his incredible new track and visuals for “The Only Living Thing”, the second release from his upcoming debut album.
Starring actor Charley Palmer Rothwell, it’s another subtle, melodic thing of beauty, lyrically breaking down relationships and the love and pain dynamic within them. There’s also a knowing nod to mental health issues and loneliness, as the protagonist clearly and actively struggles throughout the video, making this a measured and sensitive statement.
Speaking on the track, Adam states: “The track is about realisation, that everything you previously had was all that you ever needed and more. Two people sharing the same pain, coming to terms with the fact that they might need to look backwards in order to move forwards…”
“Love is an interesting beast. I’ve always been fond of videos that tell love stories in interesting ways, but this one’s different for so many reasons. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to longing for companionship.”
After spending the last year honing his sound in the studio with producer Rich Cooper, Adam’s new release is another powerful, sensitive statement of the levels of talent this young man possesses. Get ready to hear a lot more from him in 2019.
