Rhodes streams new single, ‘Turning Back Around’
Class of 2015 newcomer goes anthemic on a take from his debut album.
Hertfordshire newcomer Rhodes has unveiled ‘Turning Back Around’, a glistening lead single from his forthcoming debut album.
Following last year’s moody ballad ‘Breathe’, ‘Turning Back Around’ is a reclusive tale, but it’s delivered with a boldness that’s new to Rhodes’ stance.
Apparently, Rhodes only started singing two years back, after belting out a Whitney Houston song in the showers. “I had this really intense fear of it,” he told DIY. “With your voice, because it’s coming from inside you, you feel exposed. I was in bands and stuff before, and I never even sung backing vocals. That [fear] was the reason.”
Catch up with DIY’s Class of 2015 introduction to Rhodes here.
