Ahead of the weekend, and following a career defining moment supporting Sam Fender in his hometown at St James’ Park, Newcastle-based musician ERNIE signs to Sound Recordings and shares EP lead single ‘Summer Sun’. The first taster of what's to come sees the part-time chef, full-time singer-songwriter serve up a catchy pop anthem that's bursting with feel-good melodies and indie/folksy nuances. Speaking ahead of its release, ERNIE explained: “‘Summer Sun’ is about me tackling my addiction and trauma head on, ditching apathy and anxiety in exchange for a life of fun and happiness. It’s a song about growth; overcoming the hurdles of adult life and coming out the other end in a better place. This song was the first song I penned a few days after I decided to quit alcohol for good…it just sort of flowed out of me very quickly. One year on, I’ve got a whole fresh perspective on the world around me and a new lease of life. That’s what ‘Summer Sun’ is all about and it feels like the perfect song to kickstart this new chapter for ERNIE.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
