Les Miserables

Cameron Owen diaphanously covered Les Miserables’ Bring Him Home

After Cameron Owen’s cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water left us insurmountably arrested, we couldn’t wait to feel our emotions swell with the orchestral crescendos in his latest single, Bring Him Home.

The compellingly diaphanous ballad is as graceful, delicate, and powerful as an angel’s wing for the way the theatrical pop cover of the Les Miserables prayer comes to life through the minor piano keys and his unfaltering vocal lines fusing as the ultimate aural redemption story for humanity.

Just as Les Miserables conveyed the resilience of the human spirit and its ability to endure heartbreak while still keeping courage, love and passion at our core, Cameron Owen’s reworking of the number will serve a poignant reminder of our innate inner capacity for beauty.

Bring Him Home was officially released on April 21; stream it on Spotify.

Wonderful Welsh artist Mared thought she would be in their arms forever on ‘Let Me Go’

As she expected they would be so close and with their loved-up souls woven tight just like she imagined in her dreams, Mared shows us into a world where she was comprehensively let down by someone who was supposed to be around eternally on ‘Let Me Go‘.

Mared is a gracious North Wales-born, London, UK-based indie-pop singer-songwriter who is currently performing in the West End’s longest-running musical, Les Miserables.

Produced and co-written by fellow-Welshie, Nate Williams, the upcoming EP is influenced by the likes of Emily King, Lianne La Havas and Eloise.” ~ Mared

With a contemplative single that will have you shivering from that unwanted feeling of being let down in the cold climates you desired to avoid, Mared is quite wonderful on a single that will have you looking deep within yourself. She has a rare ability to catch your attention with something so well-performed, from a mesmerising artist who hasn’t even reached the peak of her powers yet.

Let Me Go‘ from the excellent Welsh indie-pop artist Mared, is the type of song that will put you in one of those reflective moods that might have you in a distant world for a while. Her vocals are simply gorgeous and the well-written lyrics fly gracefully from her lips, as we are blessed with an elegant single from a mightily talented soul who opens up the door to a memory that so many of us can relate to.

Hear this graceful single on Spotify and see more news via her IG page.
