Martin Tennant strikes a deeply resonant chord with his excellent, stirring indie rock debut track, ‘Forgotten Son’!
The young Scottish indie/alt rock multi-instrumentalist & singer/songwriter makes a great first impression with the global release of his first-ever official single as a solo artist!
‘Forgotten Son’, is a reflective, emotionally charged indie rock track that bleeds originality and heart, driven by upbeat guitar rhythms, pleasing atmospherics and Martin’s honest vocals. He draws from Brit indie rock influences such as early Coldplay, Oasis, U2 & The Verve. Let’s just say, this is a track that lifts your mood and gets you ready to face the day!
Like a ray of sunshine cutting through the clouds on a gloomy day, ‘Forgotten Son’ opens with radiant, punchy guitar strums, immediately evoking a sense of hope and resilience.
Martin’s sincere vocals croon melodically and from the heart about his very own hero’s journey. A journey that has him facing his fears and insecurities about life in general and grappling with a lack of purposefulness. It’s deeply personal, yet universally relatable. The verse blooms into a bright, uplifting bridge and chorus with crooning backing vocal harmonies and a melodic sense of soul-searching.
What stands out about ‘Forgetten Son’ is its fresh, uplifting indie rock sound and Martin’s passionate performance. For a solo artist so young and on his debut track, he displays a remarkable composure and poise balanced with vulnerability and heart. We learn that the entirety of the track was performed, recorded, produced & mastered by Martin himself in the confines of his bedroom studio. True to the indie artist spirit!
We love the passion and positive energy this track radiates and would love to hear more from this up-and-coming young artist. Do give this track a listen, and if it resonates with you, as it has with us, do give it a share and support his work.
