This week’s been revolving around poetry (keep an eye for a new podcast episode in several weeks) and when I found Dan Whithlam and his “Young Minds”, it stuck perfectly.
Reminiscent of Loyle Carner & Arlo Parks (the latter actually praised the song already), this spoken word-driven piece also has a lot of soul & hip hop in its core – heartfelt vocals in the chorus, as well as mellow keys and captivating drum groove that accompany the beautiful words.
The song started off as a TikTok video and amassed over 1M views and this is its official release. Can’t wait to hear more from Dan.
