South London singer-songwriter Lou Doyle showcases the charm and appeal of his new project

With the release of his engrossing and captivating debut single ‘Rivers Cuomo’, OK Doomer has immediately established himself as a memorable new artist in the UK scene with a sound that feels both unique and effortlessly compelling.

Everything here from the stripped-back nature of the sound, to its polished production, to his intoxicating vocals creates an appeal and charm that feels undeniable as the track progresses, soft in its approach but with enough vigour and dynamism to hold onto your attention throughout. The track explores the loss and grieving of a close childhood friendship after the other person has moved away, and this personal and vulnerable narrative is expertly matched by the tone of the sound and the thoughtful deftness of the artist’s approach.
