Song of the Day - "X" by Scarlet

Song of the Day - "X" by Scarlet

I have a sneaking suspicion that we will be hearing a lot more of Scarlet over the next couple of months, so I want to introduce to you her debut single "X", taken from her forthcoming EP "Phoenix" which is due to be released this Summer!

Scarlet attended the prestigious BRIT School, where she was a member of an alternative rock band shortlisted for Sony ATV’s ‘Best Songwriting’ Award.

Once leaving school, Scarlet focused on her craft, playing gigs all over London and in 2015, with the help of professional songwriter, producer and musician, Jessica Sharman, she collated her first collection of songs, to much acclaim, leading her to a publishing deal. Her ability was then spotted by Resolution, a company working with new talent, where she collaborated on the track "Sherlock", released on Resolution's album "Round One" in February of this year!

Scarlet's influences include the likes of Florence Welch, Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons and Oh Wonder. Her track "X" not only takes us on a personal journey but a musical journey also; starting simply with guitar and vocal, building nicely with the piano as the chorus looms and as the song progresses, she shows off more of her vocal power.

Radio support so far comes from BBC Radio Cambridge, Radio 6’s Tom Robinson and Amazing Radio.  Scarlet has recently recorded live sessions for BBC Cambridge and The Breeze.

She also has an upcoming gig: July 21st Secret Garden Party - BBC Introducing Stage @ Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire.
