Song of the Day - When The Saints Go Marching In

Today's song of the day comes from 18 year old singer-songwriter Callum Burrows, better known as Saint Raymond. Saint Raymond has had a massive year, breaking into the mainstream media - he was chosen as the iTunes single of the week with today's song. He is a solo artist, the typical man with an acoustic guitar, but his vocals are very good and for an 18 year old he is insanely talented.

This is Fall At Your Feet:

So What's So Good?

 

When I first heard Saint Raymond I didn't realise he was a solo artist, not least so young. He has an incredibly refined acoustic sound that takes a lot of artists years to perfect. His music also has a lot of depth for just one man and a guitar - despite the lack of percussion, there doesn't seem as if something is missing.

 

His vocals are what set him apart. There's a youthful exuberance about his voice that shows his age, but it's impressive considering his age. His voice isn't particularly strong but it's not really fragile, he's just got a soft poetic voice.

 

Saint Raymond is a terrifically talented musician who I think is nearly guaranteed to make it big very soon. He is playing at lots of different festivals this year so be sure to check him out if you go to any of these festivals.
