Welsh-Kiwi alt-pop up-and-comer, Lloyd Jerwood, captured our attention with his scintillating debut single, “To New York,” and we think you’ll be hearing his name a lot more very soon! If you’ve ever experienced the heart-wrenching pain of a long distance relationship, you know all about the ups and downs of that life. “To New York” is Jerwood’s personal take on those struggles but lockdown has made this notion especially relevant at the moment.
Bridging the gap between the dreamy indie-pop realm and the introspection that is typically delivered by the singer-songwriter genre, Jerwood is on his way to becoming a household name. Fans of Harry Styles, The Aces, and joan will have Jerwood on repeat in no time, anxiously awaiting the next release!
“‘To New York’ is this big, heartbroken, fantasy-daydream,” shared Jerwood. “It’s a tribute to anyone who has ever fantasized about throwing caution to the wind in a relationship, while knowing deep down that it would be crazy. It’s that quiet moment where you allow yourself the freedom to live out the feelings in your mind without any real responsibility.”
“If this song could, at the very least, be a companion to someone going through some relationship turmoil I would consider that a success, but I really hope it makes people feel a little lighter about exploring these kinds of subjects – even for just a fleeting moment.”
