One of the most striking features in ‘Valencia’ is certainly George Bone’s deep, majestic vocal tone, delivered with perfection and evocative energy. A talented songwriter and musician, the British troubadour finds his true identity in wholesome, emotional and eclective pop gems, balanced over contemporary vibes and timeless elegance. The elegance factor is likely to emerge from Bone’s jazz and soul background, an important part of his artistic integrity – it’s the constant tension between tradition and modernity that keeps the project on its toes, allowing George to deliver true poignant earworms.
Accompanied by his trusty piano, the British talent embarks on a love-filled journey through intimate relationships and the joy of sharing meaningful moments with them. As Bone explains: “The song represents a bond in a relationship; where memories – both good and bad – are intertwined; where hopes and dreams are dashed and made; and where love is lost and found through ‘pictur[es]… in every square”.
In an industry where commercial appearances are often preferred to true, radical talent, George Bone is a worthy reminder that skilful art is precious and life-changing. Even just by using his own vocals and piano, he manages to draw a magnetic and vibrant sonic universe, packed with love and kindness. That’s quite rare.
