In a World of Pretenders, Romain Gutsy Keeps It Honest on New Single Blew My Mind

Two years ago, a ridiculously fun and upbeat and infectious tune came into my life. Titled I'm James Bond, the eclectic offering was courtesy of Paris-based singer/songwriter and musician Romain Gutsy. A breath of fresh sonic air, the track became an instant favourite of mine, and I've been excitedly keeping tabs on Gutsy's work ever since. This brings me to Blew My Mind, the artist's brand new single. Let's explore it together, shall we?

Through a hypnotic melody and hugely immersive instrumentation, Romain takes listeners down a path of folky, poppy, and rocky goodness. True to form, he's created another song that's virtually impossible to label, but that's the secret to his charm - he doesn't play by the rules and he doesn't pretend to.

With his distinctively welcoming vocals, Gutsy delivers a message of love, concern, and awakening. Blew My Mind was written for a friend of the musician's who fell into drugs and mundane delusion, and the result is a track that feels personal, urgent, and deeply human.

Continuing to impress with each new release, Romain Gutsy is one of those artists you feel honoured to have stumbled across. Here's to many more going forward!
