Knowing that he recorded the track himself sealed the deal for us. Not only he’s a gifted songwriter and singer, but he’s also a confident and effective producer. Those are the many talents of Ayrton Jimenez, rising Bristolian artist with a knack for poignant melodies and guitar-based, soothing indie tones. His music fuses the soulful sincerity of singer-songwriters with the energy of his Latin roots, and his virtuoso guitar playing captures listeners with a captivating atmosphere.
Jimenez’s latest effort takes the shape of a heartwarming ballad, ‘You’re On My Mind’. The listening experience is flawless. Everything work with surprising synchronicity: the gentle guitar strumming, the intimate vocals… it all builds a masterpiece, the kind of track only a talented, competent musician could birth. On that aspect, it is clear that Ayrton possesses tons of songwriting expertise; melodies are simple, yet catchy and hypnotising.
Produced entirely from Jimenez’s bedroom, ‘You’re On My Mind’ is an intensely intimate and soulful addition to his catalogue, boasting a heartfelt and passionate message of lost love. We weren’t surprised to learn that BBC Radio Bristol had picked up the song for a premiere.
