Today, new up and coming acoustic pop artist Reid makes his debut into the music scene with his brand new single Savannah. Branching out from his usual style, Savannah incorporates a more R&B-pop sound drawing inspiration from 808 beats and pulling sounds from Spanish Flamenco music.
Regarding the track, Reid shared “for ages, I've always written songs about situations that have happened to me personally, but for Savannah, I just wanted to make an upbeat fun song not necessarily about anyone but more of a universal experience that other people could relate to.”
Inspired by Allen Stone, John Mayor and Jeremy Zucker, Reid has the ability to fuse together genres and catchy lyrics to create a new, unique sound.
Savannah was written originally as part of a self-set challenge that Reid partook in over the course of the Covid lockdown. “I started this little songwriting challenge just for myself when in isolation, and the aim was to try to write a new song each day.”
Reid’s creative process when writing music changes every time, and often inspiration sparks after humming a catchy melody and thinking “ooh, that could be something”. Generally, his initial process focusses on instrumentation, only later coming up with lyrics to fit around the music and match the pre-established sound. The process for creating ‘Savannah’ was very similar; “I started with just the guitar chords and then decided to incorporate a sort of Spanish vibe into it.”
Savannah is available on all major music streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Bandcamp).
