The songwriter and
producer of rock music known as Wil Hinkson has released his latest
official single, “Spirit and Stone (Somewhere Between) Remastered.”
The single has been bundled with an official B-side, “Fragile
Times.” Both have been proudly published as independent releases
without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the Oh Keh
Muse record label. Bringing all of today's '80s-revival sound and
absolutely thriving deep in the groove, “Spirit and Stone”
showcases Wil Hinkson as one of the most intriguing rock artists of
the year so far and promises that he has plenty more where that came
from.
Andorra, West
Europe's Wil Hinkson cites as main artistic influences French radio
and Phil Collins, with his own sound variously termed “new
'80s” or “chillout rock.”
Hinkson
himself writes, “People
say my music makes them feel peaceful -- some studio engineers say
the same -- so I also call it 'peaceful pop.' Experienced studio
recording people call it experimental pop.”
Striking,
mellow, and exceptionally written, music by Wil
Hinkson
builds interest and emotion for recordings, performances and playlist
spots which never fail to enthuse his listeners.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Spirit and Stone,” Hinkson writes, “As
these songs just come to me, I can only surmise like everyone else,
but it seems to say we are always between the spirit of an idea and
its materialised form (Stone) and we float 'Somewhere Between.'”
Being a subtly poetic
song, though, that's not the only message the single suggests.
Hinkson adds as an afterthought:
“Well also, the
song speaks of 'A time to forgive' (as it always is) as we are
floating between, so I guess that's one of the themes. It also talks
of the ancient heritage of the child born into the somewhere between
and the child being at home with it. It says we are moving together.
It seems to me to be a song for the times, saying we will be OK.”
A humble, friendly artist,
when asked to offer a message to his audience, Hinkson says:
“Hey, it would be
great if you kindly listened … Millennials seem to like my 'new
'80s' style according to the latest surveys I read, so that is very
encouraging.”
On this occasion of his
new single and B-side, Wil Hinkson thanks: “a lady named MC (see
her 'Dancing With Clowns' on my Instagram – lots of views); the
streaming services, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer Radio
for getting my music out to the world so easily; all the technical
people who have assisted me along the way; and a shoutout to radio in
France, USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Russia, Germany and the rest across
the world; thanks for the airplay you fine music lovers; always great
to see the variety of stations listed on the reports. Some of the
sweetest words I've read are 'Added to rotation.'”
“Spirit and Stone”
by Wil Hinkson on the Oh Keh Muse label is available at quality
digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, chillout
rock and new-'80s fans.
