There are some artists who’s writing seems to strike a chord with people in such an intense and familiar way that it feels almost as if they’re inside your head. The ability to have your feelings mirrored and shown back to you from the perspective of someone you’ve never met feels comforting in a way that can’t really be explained.

Latest Kings Elliot track ‘Dancing Alone’ continues to cement the artist as a master of capturing these feelings and moments. With lyrics like “falling together is better than dancing alone” seemingly tailor made for the photo captions and tweets of young people.

The track itself is just as poignant as its lyrics, with the young artist keeping things low key and sparse but never for a second lacking in any kind of emotion or power. It is a shining example of how less can often be much more. The track packs an emotional punch and familiar resonance that many artists can only dream of. ‘Dancing Alone’ is indie pop at its more raw and its most captivating.
