Good morning! Bristol-based folk songwriter Ryan McMurtry just landed on my radar with his new single “Let Me Be Me” a soothing acoustic gem that captures the heart with its warm and timeless sound. With its authentic analog texture, the song brings to mind the heartfelt style of folk legends like John Martyn and Nick Drake.
The gentle acoustic melodies complemented by gentle vocal harmonies and the soft presence of the flute, create a hazy and relaxing atmosphere perfect for folk playlists. The song’s message celebrates the power of embracing your true self, adding an uplifting and personal touch that resonates deeply with listeners.
I really loved this new single and found myself listening to it over and over again this morning. The acoustic sound is beautiful and calming with gentle bass, captivating guitar and heartfelt singing. Ryan’s rich voice carries warmth and emotion while the polished production highlights his passion. I can’t wait to see where his career goes this year.
