Liverpool based singer-songwriter Euan Blackman announces the release of new single ‘Butterfly’ on 26th April 2024 via Ripe Records, the first single from his upcoming ‘Thunderstorms’ EP releasing this Summer.
Euan Blackman crafts introspective and evergreen songs for rainy road trips with wistful gazes. There is something of the past in his music, not retrospect, but memories we all share, tales of the human condition in soft focus. Euan Blackman’s music is just starting out, but it feels like you’ve known him for some time.
New single ‘Butterfly’ marks the beginning of a monumental year for Euan. Working closely with award-winning producer/mix engineer Tarek Musa, he is releasing his first EP for Ripe Records (due summer 2024), which showcases his explorative balance of acoustic guitars and electronic elements comparable to the likes of Big Thief and Bleachers.
Euan adds “Butterfly is about accepting your flaws as an individual. I love songwriting that seems upbeat, but lyrically comes from a much darker place. I feel I’ve taken my sensibilities as a folk-storytelling-songwriter, and placed it into a whole new indie/alternative world with this EP project. Everything is much more ambitious sounding. I’m on a sonic path that I’m excited to continue to grow and develop.”
Euan’s work has been supported by BBC Radio 6 Music, Billboard, Time Magazine, and consistently playlisted by Spotify UK. He has also been praised by many of his heroes including acclaimed folk artist Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Radio 1 Tastemaker Jack Saunders and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda.
