Setting the tone with a luscious and ethereal frequency with intricate instrumentation, William Hut opens Don’t Give Up with introspection and optimism as he delivers the lyrics, “All the colours of the night sky, face away in a blink of an eye, I don’t raise my voice in a big crowd, but my soul is like a storm cloud, don’t give up…”
We immediately connect with the visual nature of William Hut‘s songwriting, and the affirming message that he shares with the opus. Expanding into an indie-folk energy, Don’t Give Up showcases luscious harmonies as we are drawn into William Hut‘s universe.
Speaking on his art, William confesses, “I’m nothing special, just an average soul among common people. Ageing doesn’t make you stronger, it makes you wiser. Don’t Give Up is a song about living with mediocre self-esteem and everyday anxiety.”
His humble nature is palpable, although we feel that his creative output is nothing less than special. We appreciate the depth that he writes with, and the cohesive tapestry of sound that he creates with Don’t Give Up.
It turns out that William Hut is praised internationally for his work with Norwegian Grammy winners Poor Rich Ones, and has indeed received rave reviews for his solo albums! We love what he is creating, and have added Don’t Give Up to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream William Hut‘s wider discography and anticipate future releases from the star.
