Australian singer-songwriter Tom West returns with his brooding new single Gimme What You Got, out now via AntiFragile Music. The single is taken from West’s upcoming album I’m Livin’!, due for release on 18th June 2021.
Combining folk-rock, country and blues-tinged sensibilities, Tom West proves he’s a force to be reckon with and not one to be pigeon-holed. Premiering on Americana UK, West’s distinctive, androgynous vocal style is at the forefront throughout, channeling the likes of The Tallest Man On Earth and Ray LaMontagne as a result.
Talking about the single, West explains, “Gimme What You Got came about during a time when I’d often take long walks up though the expensive suburbs on the edge of the hills that overlook the city. It struck me as weird, while walking past day after day, how empty and lifeless the massive, expensive mansions seemed in contrast to the busting and creative pubs, dive bars and humble share houses where I usually lived. So I guess this song is about being in one world and peering across a membrane into another that is close enough to reach out to, but so arcane.”
