“Quiet, downtrodden beauty.” – Gigwise
t’s early days for the Wolverhampton-based singer-songwriter, but he’s already building grassroots support. His first major airplay came from BBC Introducing, while shows with Dylan John Thomas and Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard plus a set at the Isle of Wight introduced him to a fanbase that’s now set to grow exponentially.
‘Medicine’ sets out Fitzroy Holt’s status as an artist who has lived through the volatile experiences that he explores in his songs. It’s a narrative which takes him from the sinking lows and instability of substance abuse, to finding a new love that sets him on the road towards a brighter future. Musically it’s a fusion of bluesy rock riffs, ‘60s-tinged R&B and sumptuous psychedelia, all played with a ragged but immediately accomplished intensity. His voice is just as potent, displaying the versatility to switch at will from a rock ‘n’ roll roar to soothing falsetto.
Fitzroy says, “‘Medicine’ is a love song with all the good bits and all the sometimes not so good bits. It’s about that special someone or something that makes your day brighter by just being there.”
‘Medicine’ was written by Fitzroy and was produced by Gavin Monaghan (Paolo Nutini, Robert Plant, Editors) at The Magic Garden Recording Studio in Wolverhampton.
