Tom Minor is a London-based singer/songwriter who recently unleashed his cracking sophomore single in the form of ‘It’s Easy to Play Hearts’. Answering the question of what a heart in the process of breaking sounds like, Tom’s latest tune juxtaposes the darkness with an upbeat, invigorating, and somewhat quirky soundscape. Designed to, in the artist’s words, “wash away your pain and make your next inevitable heartache more bearable,” it’s a track that’s as comfortable on a dance floor as it is resonating through the quietude of a silent room. That’s rather unique – and I think it’s what originally made the song so appealing to me.
Inspired and influenced by just about every genre you can possibly imagine, Minor is certainly an intriguing and compelling new musician. ‘It’s Easy to Play Hearts’ follows his debut single ‘Saturday Eats Its Young’, and you get the sense that Tom has unearthed, and is now sculpting, a distinctive auditory landscape separate from the mainstream.
Capturing the essence of heartbreak, but presenting it with a refreshing twist, ‘It’s Easy to Play Hearts’ showcases the artist’s innovative approach to his music-making. As he continues to explore and experiment, we promise to follow him every step of the way, and we’ll keep you in the loop!
