In the vein of Vance Joy comes Michael Fuhrman, an exciting new singer-songwriter from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. He’s completely won me over with his beautiful acoustic single “London Town,” a song that reflects on a love when one half of the couple is away on the other side of the world.
The instrumentation here is perfect. The violins and drums add weight to the music, but the centrepieces are really Michael’s beautiful voice, his lyrics, and that lovely melody. There’s just enough going on here. The folks at Heliport Studios clearly know what they’re doing.
Apparently Michael plans to play some shows in Sydney over the New Year. Hopefully the rest of the nation will get a chance to see this talented musician in the flesh before too long too.
