John Blaylock Arrives with Emotive Debut Single ‘Temples’
Homegrown Mancunian talent John Blaylock is proving he is a musical force to be reckoned with, as he arrives with his stunning debut release ‘Temples’.
Opening with soft strings and John’s distinctively emotional vocal, ‘Temples’ delivers a heady mix of acoustic bliss and heart wrenching lyricism. John’s unique and powerful vocal harbors an unapologetic northern tone, as he pours out lyrics that will tear you open and put you back together again. Singing the poignancy of life’s true essence; of love, one-ness, connection, remembering who we are and who we were born to be, John sings “if you take away the judgment we’re just love / when the temples fall”.
The rising artist is determined to write the story of our lives and become a staple in our memories. Soon to be touring the UK, John is sharing ‘Temples’ as the first single from his brilliant upcoming album.
Speaking on his debut release, John Blaylock said: “This is a song about us all being connected, it’s about hope, it’s about love, it’s about a brighter future. I love this track, I love the whole album and can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
ABOUT JOHN BLAYLOCK
Picking up a guitar at 12 years old John fell in love with music and formed a band in his teen years, which led to numerous plays by Zane Lowe on Radio 1, Steve Lamacq on Radio 2 and Clint Boon for XFM, making the band’s song single of the week. His forthcoming debut album is full of beautifully crafted heartfelt songs, and Lennon-like raw, gritty lyrics and loops that will take you to the edge. John Blaylock recorded all of his upcoming music in North London at Konk studios (The Kink’s studio), Snap studios, and drafted in Freddy Sheed (drummer to Lewis Capaldi), alongside Grammy award winning producer Guy Massey, and hit songwriter and producer Helen Boulding. The likes of Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, The Byrds and The Stone Roses are just some of Blaylock’s influences. Ready to share his gift with the world, ‘Temples’ is set to be an exciting next step for this musical gem.
