London-based singer/songwriter Tom Minor is a familiar face around these parts, and for good reason! His unique artistry has well and truly captivated us from single to single, and he now returns with ‘It’s the Wind, Stupid!’ – another intriguing and absorbing little number.
Once again showing his musical and songwriting versatility, ‘It’s the Wind, Stupid!’ is laced with nostalgia and infectious, pop-centric elements. Instrumentally upbeat, Tom’s lyrical depth adds layers of introspection, turning what at first seems like a simple tune into a thoughtful and deeply resonant experience. His distinctive vocals are also extremely compelling, something that has undoubtedly kept me returning to his music.
Described by Minor as “A young Robert Smith weeping his way through a 1960s kitchen-sink pop drama written by an exceptionally lovelorn Jarvis Cocker,” ‘It’s the Wind, Stupid!’ is a perfect example of the artist’s ability to concoct poignant storytelling with irresistible melodies.
Whether he’s answering the question of what a heart in the process of breaking sounds like (‘It’s Easy to Play Hearts’) or asking ‘Where Do You See Yourself In Five Years?’ Tom Minor brings with him a playful and tongue-in-cheek approach to his art. It’s refreshing, inventive, and something that truly sets him apart in a crowded space!
