The UK’s own Tim Howarth pierces through the chaos of the industry, with a divinely personal, poetic and poignant ode to authentic artistry.
The acoustic folk tones and darker depths of Black Gold raise up the intricate, raspy and expressive nuances of Tim’s voice, as we delve into this profoundly original look at the details and impact of a destructive relationship.
Tim’s way with words is fascinating and powerful, and the music more than meets the implications of that – the energy and intensity rise consistently throughout, the passion of the delivery enthralling as we reach the peak central resolve of the title.
Undoubtedly one of the most interesting songwriters to emerge this year, Tim Howarth’s musicality is accessible and euphoric as it captures the moment and connects on a deeply human level. At the same time as being musically familiar, the writing and performance feel incomparably honest and raw – unexpectedly poetic and real all at once.
As we approach the final fifth, the whole thing is inescapably gripping – the sudden urgency and longing of the voice, the new clarity and comfort of these returning words.
Fantastic songwriting, in short, from an artist and musician well worth knowing about.
