Fiona Lennon Releases Nostalgia Tinged New Single ‘Coming of Age’
Liverpool’s Fiona Lennon has released her brilliant third single Coming of Age. Born and bred in the city, Lennon has been busy establishing herself as one of the most exciting emerging artists on the local scene right now.
Her influences include Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles and Alicia Key and she aims to incorporate elements of Folk, Rock, Pop and Soul in her songs and her sound. Over the last year, her popularity has grown immensely and she is fast becoming a seasoned live act in Liverpool having recently performed at LIMF, Sound City and with performances scheduled at Widnes Beats and Arts Club Loft supporting The Merchants in September.
Her latest track Coming of Age is a nostalgia tinged, guitar riff infused sonic treat. Her ethereal vocals soar on this track, there is an angelic quality to her voice as well as a sense of vulnerability to her tone. The simple arrangement of the track with charged lead guitars, pounding drums and a strong bassline really allows Lennon’s voice to take centre stage, with all of these elements blending together to create something really special.
The track was produced at Garage Studios and according to Lennon, when she wrote the song, she had “just turned 25 and felt many emotions, it’s not easy as we get older, but the bad experiences make you appreciate the good so much more, this song is for my mum, my family, and anyone who can relate, hope you love it.”
Indie infused and energetic with sparkling lead guitar, Coming of Age juxtaposes a bright and upbeat melody with thought provoking lyrics, dealing with the worries and woes that come with getting older and growing up. Through this single, Lennon lets her listeners in a little more, offering her deepest feelings and showing once again why she is a true songwriting talent.
This track is a perfect summer tune as we see out the last couple of weeks of sunshine, I’m excited to see what Fiona releases next.
