Arthur Valentine has released his new single ‘2018’. Arthur Valentine is the eclectic pop project of Cork based singer/songwriter, producer and co-founder of the Hausu collective, Luke Aston. Employing help from his Hausu collaborators ‘2018’ was recorded over an 18 month period in both homemade, DIY and professional studios.

‘2018’ is a lush melodic number that exudes Arthur Valentine’s perky passionate sound.With warm guitar strides and jingles the track fluidly flows into the ears as the velvety vocals pour soft soul hues on the melty peppy melody. Triumphant brass elements add a glorious vibrant, rich quality to the track. The quirky lyrics and easy listening musicianship with tight and crisp production make this track instantly likeable and cosy. The song travels at a steady pace as Arthur Valentine injects a rich variety of instruments with jazzy elements and electronic textures up to the jubilant crescendo. The song slowly pans out stripping away all the rich instrumentation and vibrant bustle to soft crooned vocals with only delicate strums on guitar to accompany it, creating lonely solitary end to the track. ‘2018’ is a magnificent display from Arthur Valentine
