Col Gerrard, known best for his heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, has released his highly anticipated new single ‘Sun & Sky’. The track marks a significant milestone in Gerrard's musical journey, one that has been shaped by his diverse life experiences and profound personal insights.
The new release embodies rich, mahogany vocals and mellow moving melodies. Whilst paying homage to his musical inspirations Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and Marvin Gaye, Gerrard has also worked alongside esteemed GRAMMY-nominated producer and Brit Award winner, Chris Potter (The Rolling Stones, The Verve, U2, Keane, and Blur).
The heartfelt and honest single ‘Sun & Sky’ is a testament to Gerrard’s commitment to creating music that resonates deeply with listeners. “I’ve always been a huge fan of David Bowie and his ability to reach people with his music,” Gerrard explains. “He has always had a way of making people feel special in a way like no one else can do. His lyrics haven’t always had a message, but they have always had a meaning and a feeling.”
In his early life, Gerrard's grandfather imparted three key pieces of wisdom: never grow old, listen twice as much as you talk, and don't wait for things to happen. These principles have become the bedrock of Gerrard's philosophy and his approach to life and music.
"Whatever it is you want in life, you have to go and get it for yourself" says Gerrard. "The great weakness of us as human beings is making excuses for things rather than taking responsibility for ourselves. There have definitely been times throughout my life where I have been guilty of doing exactly that. And none more so than with my music”.
Channelling this guidance, the rising artist has created a song born of life’s lessons and experiences, brimming with integrity and the charisma that is distinctly Col Gerrard. With his sound reminiscent of Robbie Williams, Bryan Adams and The Verve, Gerrard’s music is a perfect blend of classic songwriting and modern flair.
Col Gerrard’s musical journey is one of relentless pursuit and unyielding passion. ‘Sun & Sky’ is not just a single; it’s the beginning of a new chapter for Gerrard, one that promises to touch hearts and souls around the world.
‘Sun & Sky’ is available now on all streaming platforms.
