Belfast-based artist THOM SOUTHERN has returned with his blistering new single, “HEY WHAT’S HAPPENIN?”, released via his own indie label Mighty Good Leader.
The track features a blend of soulful driven garage rock with the anthemic vocals and chaotic of 90s era Brit Rock. Not even clocking in at 2-minutes, it’s brief runtime just urges you to hit the replay button.
Speaking about the meaning behind ‘Hey What’s Happein?’, Thom Southern explains:
“For me this song creates a raw picture of two people who have never met before, who see each other and feel an overwhelming instantaneous connection. I wanted to present the song in a quirky loud way that felt humorous but at the same time applying totally in your face, fierce production to the music and keeping the song short in length to really capture that moment too. Growing up in Belfast I’ve always loved people from here’s unique way of saying things like ‘What’s the craic?’ and ‘Hey what’s happenin? so putting a little bit of Belfast inside the tune was a lot of fun too.”
