We really can’t get enough of this catchy song “Ruin” from Archie Langley aka St Lundi. Upon hearing it for the first time we immediately got hooked to his charming and pure voice. Archie’s vocal performance is very professional and so beautiful, and the melodies that have been selected for this song are catchy and unique and that definitely gives a better experience. The atmosphere of this song is beautiful and we really don’t mind listening to this record all day long without getting bored at all, it’s a piece of art.
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“Miscommunication can often lead to confusion. This song is a take on how two people in love are on the brink of breaking down as a result of not doing something that seems so simple to most, talking. This story represents the moment of realisation when one pleads with the other to speak about the troubles they both face or risk letting what they have built go to ruin.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
At 21 years of age, having grown up on the little known English Channel outpost ‘Hayling Island’, Archie Langley found himself living with family, in and out of dead end jobs, whilst trying to build a name for himself as a singer-songwriter in the Portsmouth and Hampshire area.
One evening – with very little to his name – Archie went out to the local newsagent and instead of going home, he spontaneously bought a one way train ticket to London. The next evening he played an open mic night where he met some new friends who offered him a couch as accommodation which soon became his home for the next 6 months whilst laying the foundations of a new life in the capital.
A poet at heart – with a bold voice and songwriting that draws comparisons to Chris Martin, Ben Howard and Damien Rice – Archie has now honed his craft, with a skill for scribing emotionally charged, metaphor laden songs about love and life. Conceived as a shape-shifting project – St Lundi encompasses collaborations with songwriters and musician friends that Archie has met on his journey.
St Lundi is now signed to Propeller, who have recently helped to launch many up and coming artists including Au/Ra, Declan J Donovan, Yungblud and manage Spotify top 300 streaming artist Seeb. This has led to Archie working with new collaborators that have seen success with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, JC Stewart and many others.
This year, Archie will release his debut EP, alongside writing for other projects, which includes songs on Seeb’s forthcoming LP.
