Hailing from the city of Phoenix in Arizona, Felton is a solo singer and multi-instrumentalist, using music as a vehicle to articulate his often unspoken personal emotions. Taking cues from the ebb and flow of daily life, as well as impactful events, he strives to capture his feelings in a relatable way.
With a diverse set of influences ranging from Tame Impala and Daniel Caesar to Lil Uzi Vert and beyond, Felton refuses to be boxed into any one genre or style in particular, instead viewing music creation as a canvas for self-expression.
First making his entrance back in 2021, he released his debut single “No Cross,” returning the next year with his first full-length record The Pawn Shop Collective. Since then, he’s shared a string of singles over the last couple of years and now brings us his first release of 2024 with his brand new single titled “Goodnight Avenue.”
Distilling his own university experience into song, he captures the fleeting nature of belonging to a place temporarily while studying and compares the changing emotions to that of a relationship. Wrapped up in his own brand of indie rock style, “Goodnight Avenue” blends smooth vocal leads carrying reflective lyricism and metaphors with shuffling drums, lightly gritty guitar tones and grooving bass guitar work.
Jumping straight in with the twang of guitar riding the rattling drum beat and pulse of bass, the laid back rhythm sets up Felton’s vocal leads, at once soulful and delicate, to ride above. Casting a catchy sound with thought-provoking songwriting, the chorus arrives with the main context of “I no longer have a home in you, stop pretending that there’s no issues,” where the theme of bittersweet change in life brings about complicated feelings.
Flowing through an instantly memorable indie scene cut with his alternative aesthetic, “Goodnight Avenue” sees Felton deliver a catchy and charming sound. With his slick songwriting panache and performance flair, this exciting artist kicks off his new year with a superb new song that’s sure to connect with fans around the world.
