Addley – Where You Were
Based in Liverpool, Sam Addley, who goes by the moniker Addley, weaves together alternative songwriting, powerful instrumentation, and electrifying beats to craft a sound that’s both moving and lively. With live strings and a full band complementing his sentimental lyrics, Addley blends the sounds of artists such as Florence + the Machine, London Grammar, Faithless, Bicep and Daughter, to produce a rich, energetic, and bold musical experience.
Before its official release, Addley’s first single ‘Where You Were’ made a premiere appearance on BBC Introducing in Merseyside. The song starts with a striking touch of violin strings, accompanied by the beat of drums. The pain of intense loss and sadness is heightened as Addley croons, “There’s more talking than quiet, we’re just finding new ways how to speak.” As the song progresses, elements of piano, synth, and more drums are added towards the chorus, elevating the emotional impact of the piece. Addley’s vocal abilities seamlessly blend into the song, as he sings from his heart and personal experience to deliver the lyrics with authenticity. The fusion of various musical instruments and the full band truly captures the soul-stirring message of the song, showcasing Addley’s dynamic musical talent.
With the release of his first single, ‘Where You Were,’ Addley has made a breathtaking entrance into the music scene. The track garnered over 1000 streams within its first week, solidifying its success. This success has fueled Addley’s eagerness to perform for his upcoming gigs, including a highly anticipated live performance with his band at Jimmy’s Liverpool on March 24th.
