In a world that feels like it's on the brink, Hamilton Hound delivers both reflection and resistance in his powerful new single, "Flames." This track speaks with clear intent, drawing from the weight of the current moment. It also features the chemistry of returning collaborator James Mason and rising talent Rhianna Jackson, who adds a new layer of emotion to the mix.
"Flames" opens with a soulful calm but quickly pulls you into deeper waters. A spoken word verse, infused with political grit and personal insight, reflects the chaos around us; it's raw, poetic, and deeply human. Just when you think you've settled in, the chorus arrives and a thoughtful nod to Charles Bradley's "The World Is Going Up in Flames." This section is beautifully reimagined with vocals by AP Wilson and a hauntingly expressive piano line from Mo Marshall. However, it's not merely a cover; it's a resurrection of that spirit.
Hamilton Hound demonstrates that soul music isn't a relic of the past; it's a lifeline. There's something urgent and alive in every note. Based in Bearsted, Kent, Hamilton Hound has been steadily rising this year, first grabbing attention with February's "You Don't Have to Hide," and then making waves in April with the gritty "White Noise." With "Flames," he's not just releasing music; he's building a movement, one soulful spark at a time.
