Will Strickson also known as Sundile, a London-based singer/songwriter hits the soundwaves with his new single “Late Night Love Songs” via independent label Kaleidoscope. His sound combines the crooning vocal style of Matt Maltese with a musical style akin to a slacker-Britpop redux which takes on influences from 1960s surf-pop (think somewhere between Blur, Noah and The Whale and Willie J. Healey).  His early  demo recordings garnered support from BBC Introducing in Yorkshire and BBC 6Music’s BBC Introducing Mixtape, leading to a tour support slot with Cape Cub and bringing it to the attention of Newcastle-based indie-label Kaleidoscope. Sundile’s debut track chronicles the trials and tribulations of a long-distance romance.  Strickson explains; “Late Night Love Songs” is about being inspired to write love songs about someone when you’re apart, and then sharing those songs with them on a nightly phone call.”  That’s the short of It!

Positives:

Sunny pop-themes infuse the lyric of Sundile’s single “Late Night Love Songs,” Strickson has a matter of fact vocal style, the juice lies in his lyrics and ability to create relatable libretti that resonates.

Bottom Line:

Sundile has a unique ability to turn a phrase, and to connect the listener to the emotional core of the lyrics. “Late Night Love Songs,” transfers the heartbreak and loneliness that can happen even in the best of times, simply by being apart. With a catchy beat coming from the set, a warmly distorted guitar plays a riff that is solid and musical. The chorus is catchy with Sundile moving to his upper register. The syncopated bass line and keyboard/organ add a lot to keep the track moving. Stickson’s voice is unadorned and quite straight forward matching the style of his songs, honest and earnest.
