For the latest instalment of NME Home Sessions we’ve got an exclusive performance from Tayo Sound.
Fresh from releasing his ‘Runaway’ EP last month – a five-track collection of woozy earworms that couple hypnotic production with diaristic lyrics – the Reading-based songwriter joins us from his bedroom to share stripped-back acoustic versions of his alt-pop tunes.
Talking about his recent release, Tayo explains: “The whole record is about first relationships and the emotions that everyone goes through whether they’re good or bad.”
And title-track “‘Runaway’ is about being in something that isn’t good for either one of you and how sometimes it’s just hard to let go. Ultimately, you’re both chasing something that’s not worth being chased. I’ve been making this EP for two years now and I’m super excited to get it out and it feels like the perfect way to wrap up the first chapter of my career and start the year off with a bang(er).”
