Hailing from Wales, Branwell Black has been going from strength to strength over the last five years with his original blend of electro-rock-infused music. A singer, dancer and musician, Branwell’s journey from humble beginnings to the forefront of the music scene is marked by his unique upbringing and a relentless passion for bringing back the eccentric performer.
With his live band, consisting of Alexandra on drums and Harvey on guitar, Branwell Black has headlined at O2 Academy and played stages all over Wales as well as the Liverpool Soundcity Festival. His artistic flair has even seen him model for Vogue and earn him recognition as a finalist for Pride’s Got Talent.
Now based in London, Branwell Black envisions a revival of the flamboyant male artist, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Prince and Boy George. His mission is to inject a 21st-century wave of dancing and glam rock vibe into the music landscape.
In 2018 he unveiled his unique sound with his debut release, Explicit EP which he’s since followed up with a string of well-received singles and EPs. Now he brings us his latest release with the brand new single titled “angel,” a song that channels his distinctive style and embodies a narrative of reclaiming confidence in the aftermath of a toxic relationship.
Launching straight in with his commanding vocal delivery, soaring above the punch of drums and layers of crunchy guitars, from the very first note Branwell sets up a high-octane pop-focused rock outing. Packed full of catchy melodic leads, driving energy from the instrumentation and profound lyricism, “angel” sees Branwell Black serve up a powerful anthem that’s as meaningful as it is infectious.
Rising to a dance focused aesthetic in the bridge, lofty piano tones flutter as Branwell’s airy vocals glide above before the song erupts into the final chorus. It’s another sensational dose of his stellar songwriting and engaging sound that sees him continue to operate at the very highest level.
