New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rock soloist hailing from London, Drew Davies has created the music video for his latest single, 'X and Y'. The single is lifted from his upcoming self-titled album, which will be released on the 15th of May. The music video was premiered via Wonderland. Magazine and the album was mixed by Steve Honest (Oasis, Eurythmics) and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Super Furry Animals). Davies has been featured by the likes of Clash Magazine, Atwood Magazine, Music Week, Music News and Pure Grain Audio amongst others. He has seen radio play from BBC Introducing London with Gary Crowley, BBC Radio York's Introducing with Jericho Keys, BBC Wales, Radio X, Planet Rock, and as a previous member of The Mercy House, the band saw support from Kerrang, Classic Rock Magazine, Metal Hammer, MTV and BBC Radio 6 and Radio X. Drew Davies has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, and played Download Festival, London's Scala and the iconic Troubadour.

Hailing from South Yorkshire, Davies comes from a long line of singers and musicians. He has spent the better part of the last decade working in musical collaborations, writing for other artists and singing in session gigs to get by. Through successes, setbacks and everything in between, he has poured himself into his musical labours, and has now produced his most personal work to date.


Pulling from a wide array of influences, Drew Davies is inspired by everything from 50's rock n' roll to electronica, citing acts such as The National, Scott Walker, Vangelis and Tom Petty. From this palette of familiar reference points, he has created a genre-bending and timeless sound that bears semblance to the likes of Sam Fender, Future Islands, David Bowie and The War On Drugs.

Acting as a visual vessel of historical importance for both current political affairs and socio commentary, Drew Davies presents the music video for his latest single, 'X and Y'. With footage of eerie empty restaurants, pubs and streets, the musician's vocals bring a much-needed warmth to the video, acting as a conduit for hope. In turn, the lyrics of the single take a rebellious stance on gender norms, creating multiple layers of meaning to be peeled back from the video.

Speaking of the strange circumstances surrounding the video, Drew Davies tells us, "The video for X and Y acts as a waypoint in time, given that the lockdown was announced hours after we finished shooting. There was a strange atmosphere in the air and London was pretty much like a ghost town; I think because of this and the work of Henry Croston (Director) the video acts as a time capsule for what's been a very unusual period in our lives."
