After we heard his song “Ruin,” Archie became one of our favorite artists on Cheers to the Vikings! A few days ago Archie released a new song titled “Learn To Let Go,” and it’s definitely a piece of art! His new single is one of those rare songs that takes you into a wonderful journey. To be honest, we are not really sure if we can find the right words to describe how incredible this song is. Archie has one of the most charming and purest voices you could ever hear. The lyrics are touching and honest and his performance is catchy and professional. This song is going to leave you stuck on repeat for a long time.
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
Speaking about the song’s inspiration, Archie explains, “I feel like sometimes when falling in love it’s natural to want to spend every minute with one another. But there comes a point in time where you need to take a step back and remember the world still exists around you. It can make you feel like you’re moving in the wrong direction for a moment but you know deep down you need to ‘Learn To Let Go’ for the relationship to last.”
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.
