The exciting prospect continues his ascent through the ranks
Emerging singer-songwriter and producer Adam Rom has unveiled the lyric video for his latest single ‘Hostage’, out on Friday 14th February.
The lyric video for ‘Hostage’ is a deeply personal affair that sees Adam skateboarding his way through London and ultimately trying to make sense of life in the big city – a perfect visual accompaniment for the track’s themes of love and loss.
Adam previously explained: “I wrote this song with the sick Futurecut and Ruxley. It was the second song we wrote of the day, the first one didn’t feel right but then I pulled up the beat for hostage and we all knew we had to write something to it. It sort of all fell into place within a few hours and I walked away from the session knowing I had something really special.”
Undergoing a rapid ascent through the ranks over the past few months, the 18-year-old South London based artist is approaching 2 million streams across his first three releases since he dropped his debut single ‘Obvious’ last summer. The animated record was featured as ‘Best New Pop’ on BBC Radio 1 and subsequently went onto secure multiple plays and support from BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills who said, ‘If Justin Bieber did that, that would be a worldwide smash’.
This was followed up by ‘Curse’, an emotive pop track fusing trap and house elements, and the wistful ‘Back To You’, while Adam also made his live debut at fashion festival Tokyo Girls Collection. More recently LA-based DJ and producer Le Youth released a more electronic-oriented take on ‘Obvious’.
With fruitful influences from his family throughout his youth, Adam’s musical journey began when he picked up a guitar aged 12, the drums and piano soon followed, and when he was then introduced to Logic Pro X production software, it felt like a natural progression. Armed with the skill-set needed to create his own music, he first began penning lyrics and recording tracks in the summer of 2017 and is yet to look back.
The intriguing lyric video for ‘Hostage’ is just the latest development in the rise of this exciting British talent.
