Back in 2019 when soul-stirring London-based artist Barny Fletcher makes his debut in the musical scene. From hip-hop to R&B, underground pop to billowing electronics, the young artist has already been picked by everyone from DJ Shadow to Michaela Coel for his sharp-edged style and undeniable charisma. His first record Lonestar in 2023 was the confirmation that he is an artist to watch. He has also played sold-out London headline shows, toured the length of the UK in an old Mercedes-Benz covered in artwork from his fans, and appeared at festivals such as Lollapalooza Paris, Reading & Leeds, and The Great Escape.
So what’s new for Fletcher? His sound has evolved into a kaleidoscopic mix of pop, R&B, hip-hop, and disco. Now, with his latest music, Fletcher’s new era is set to be his best yet. Last July, he shared an upbeat new anthem “Scotch of St. James”. Taking its name from the famous London club with rich music heritage, “Scotch of St. James” carries an infectious feel-good energy. Its lyrics follow a night under the club lights, with all worries left outside the door. Catchy, relatable, and a little bit flirty, the smile-inducing single is a huge slice of sunshine.
This August, the musician is back with a brand new joy-inducing track “Moments In A Lifetime”. For Barny, it acts as a reminder that dark times are always temporary, harnessed sonically by uplifting and soulful melodies that bring comfort to the track’s central theme of challenges young adults face while trying to hold on to their dreams and beliefs. In a press statement, the London-based artist says: “Earlier this year, I went through a lot of big changes. I wanted to write something about how life can throw these challenges at us, but in the grand scheme of things, they’re just temporary. Good times will always return.”.
