Single of the Week: '4th July' - Daniel Pearson

With July around the corner, it's fitting that Daniel Pearson today releases his infectious new single, '4th July'.

The track is about a love gone bad. The hook is simple - I told a lie on the 4th of July, I said you were the only one - but undeniably catchy as it warns the listener about the destruction nature of deceit and betrayal in a relationship. Yet rather than three minutes of melancholy, the song is quite the opposite. A toe-tapping beat, a raucous harmonica and a simply fantastic dynamic between the charming Pearson and his female back-up singer create a lively, fresh track that is absolutely perfect for the upcoming summer months. The arrangement is just as wonderful as the story that Pearson tells us.

Don't wait until the 4th of July to download this track. Have a listen below and be sure to go and get the track to support this brilliant British talent.
