Will has recently signed to Revolver Records and has been releasing music since 2021. He’s spent time performing live in Beijing, China and has been building up a following on Spotify. You can now count us as fans here at York Calling.

Rooftops is a gentle acoustic track with some intricate guitarwork and enticingly soulful vocals. Will tells a rich story with the imagery in his lyrics, and an undercurrent of strings makes things folksy and emotional. It truly is a special track and I’m so glad to have discovered Will’s music through it.

The track is out now and you can check it out below.
