Etham links with GEMINI on new single

Hailing from Reading, singer-songwriter Etham started his musical journey with the early encouragement needed to pursue his passion. From school talent shows, busking on the streets, performing at open mic nights and posting covers online, he gradually built up a global audience.

It wasn’t long before Virgin EMI came knocking on his door, leading to the release of his first EPs, Better Now and Stripped, when he was just 19 years old. Performances at BST Hyde Park, supporting artists like JP Cooper and James Morrison and over 200 million Spotify streams later, Etham shows now signs of slowing down.

Now signed to Nettwerk, Etham is focusing on his songwriting and returning to his acoustic roots, he brings us his latest release, “Put You First,” a collaborative effort with rising South Korean alternative R&B artist GEMINI, who made his debut in 2020. Together, they’ve crafted a mellow pop outing that bridges language barriers, delivering a melodic hit via the Nettwerk Music imprint.

With “Put You First,” Etham and GEMINI serve up a breezy and instantly catchy sound. Opened by the bright plucks of a clean electric guitar, Etham’s delicate vocals enter, elegantly threading blissful melodies carrying heartfelt lyricism into an alluring sonic fabric.

Injecting a gentle rhythm with soft finger clicks on the off-beat, GEMINI then enters, singing in Korean and mirroring the graceful style of Etham whose voices glides back in to craft a stunning duet that sees the two talented singers weave and trade lines on this beautiful new song. The track highlights Etham’s evolution from his roots while maintaining the irresistible melodic quality that’s become part of his compelling sonic output.

“Put You First” also offers a window into Etham’s highly anticipated upcoming EP titled Patterns, set to drop on November 24th. With new music on the horizon, Etham is set to unveil an exciting chapter in his career, one that will undoubtedly captivate audiences far and wide.
