Clarkesville
Heavy Soul

Wildstar

WE SAY

Difficult to break' is a phrase we've used in conjunction with Clarkesville, largely because his music sits somewhere between alternative and mainstream. But we're reckon it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to break now that Heavy Soul is getting a single release. A really strong, instant, mass appeal hit that wouldn't sound out of place on Virgin, Radio 1, Radio 2, most of the ILR network... or indeed Capital.
