"Track Of The Week"

But, Track of the Week doesn’t stop for summer – so we’ve got some great new music for your listening enjoyment. This is BIMM Birmingham‘s FELIX with his single ‘Gold’. Trust us you will want to be adding this to your summer playlist!
What was your inspiration when you began writing the track?
I started writing this song when I was in a relationship and I saw her as being made of gold inside and out, the fact she had no idea she played a massive role lyrically. I had a self-reflection process before the song was released as we split up. However my initial view of her has never changed to this day; to me that is fascinating. I was fixated on the concept that everyone is made of gold in someone’s eyes.

Are there any artists that inspire you when writing?
Lyrically, I now draw a large part of my inspiration from the likes of BAZZI, NAO and Frank Ocean. They use a lot of imagery in their songs that I really like, as I am known for having a metaphor for EVERYTHING.

What is key to your sound and how do you make your music stand out?
There’s a face we all pull when a song just has that vibe. If my music doesn’t make me do that, then I haven’t hit it on the head. I don’t try too hard to stand out. I make music for myself and that might be selfish but if I don’t believe in it, no one else will. I never write to fit an expectation.

How does your songwriting process work?
It really varies, sometimes I’ll write in the studio, so the feel of what I’m producing influences the lyrics. But, with ‘Gold’ I wrote the first line sat on the bed of the girl who it’s about; waiting for her to come home from work. I sung a melody into my phone and got into the studio a few days later.

Describe your sound in 3 words…
Gold is definitely bouncy, flirty and sentimental. But the songs on the way will be a lot easier to listen to than to describe. I’ll be bringing influences of hip-hop, R’n’B and rock, with extra sauce of indie and shoegaze.

How has studying at BIMM helped you develop as an artist?
BIMM has really helped me with trial and error when it came to my artistic sound. The best parts are utilising the advice from the tutors and especially the career advisor, Collette.

What’s your favourite thing about BIMM?
I love how many people I have met and how many I have helped with anything I could have possibly done. I think having so many creatives in one space motivates you to be better.

What’s next for you?
A lot of new music, cool shows, growing with everyone who’s supporting my sound, and more songs that’ll make you pull that face. - BIMM-


"515 POP POP ROW"

Felix – Friends

“We Can Be Friends explores feelings of denial, heartache and nostalgia while going through a break up with a sense of hope of becoming friends again in the future…second guessing everything and still wanting that person in your life as a friend”. The thrust of it all is recounted and accounted in a relationship that has been ‘tainted’ in some ways. The last chapter of existence is no more. A different sheen covers this new future together. Will it last as the new kind of friendship MUST develop? Odds are against it. “Can a new kind of care, exist in this new world for us?” Felix is a British Singer-Songwriter merging Alt-Pop and RnB melodies. - Comeherefloyd


"Felix – “Getaway”"

irmingham, UK, singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Felix releases “Getaway” amidst the time spent at home desiring a vacation to distance himself from the four-bedroom walls staring at him on a daily basis. It’s accompanied by a rhythmic melody allowing his laidback, catchy lyrics and vocals to shine.

Surging through the swift sounds of indie, electronica, r&b, synth-wave, and pop music, “Getaway” finds its home. Ironic enough, this single came into fruition after the worldwide lockdown placed us in our homes for an extensive period of time that we never saw coming. For many musicians, this lockdown opened up the doors for an array of new creative productions such as this one to let out the frustrations.

“Getaway” is a page from Felix’s personal journal with an infectious pop soundscape creating a compelling single with relatable lyrics such as “Lost my mind in these four walls/ I’m starting to feel stuck… Damn, I need a getaway/ Let’s get away, baby.”



2021 is set to put Felix in front of more crowds as he plans out the details on an upcoming documentary, EP, and string of live shows. Enjoy the current releases for now since there’ll be a lot more to look forward to in the upcoming year. - Evelin


"FELIX – GETAWAY"

BIRMINGHAM BASED ARTIST FELIX RELEASES INFECTIOUS POP SINGLE ‘GETAWAY’
“Getaway” is the feel-good new anthem from Birmingham born and raised artist Felix. Written and recorded entirely during lockdown, the new single shines with character, and unfolds into a relatable tune that we can all sympathise with.

An intense arrangement fuelled with indie-electronica, there’s elements of synth-wave, pop and even r&b within ‘Getaway’.

On the release, Felix said, “Getaway is a song about how much lockdown made me need a holiday to have a break from being sat in the same 4 walls for 6 months. I got really sick of the zoom calls, not being able to see my mates and not getting out playing shows.

I wrote and produced it all in my bedroom which made it a little easier being locked in, but I still really want a holiday.”

“Getaway” flows with emotive lyricism and distinctive storytelling. As for Felix’s vocals, they’re warm and armed with an addictive element.

With big plans set in the near future, Felix is one to keep an eye out for, and you heard it here first. - CHLOE MOGG


"Felix – ‘Getaway’ 10/10"

Birmingham based singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Felix had released a new single ‘Getaway’ which is available to stream on all music platforms.

‘Getaway’ is a beautiful Pop and R&B influenced ensemble recorded in his bedroom during lockdown. Created as a way for him to sonically exhale the thoughts, feelings and frustration himself and many others have faced throughout this strange year, ‘Getaway’ is as relatable as it comes.

If you’re looking for a single to get you through Lockdown which you will love and be able to relate with the lyrics look no further!

This incredible single will grab your full attention within seconds with its upbeat sound and modulated vocals. The lyrics will have every listener relating to them, they draw you in and you cannot help but sit and listen to every word. They will be stuck in your head as you go around doing your daily routine, sometimes this is the worst thing to happen, but I guarantee that will not be the case with this single.

The vocals are something that has stayed consistently strong throughout this single and help to make this track stand out, there is something special about the vocals that you instantly fall in love with and they really make this track.

The combination of instrumentals, vocals and unique sound makes this single one you will not forget about any time soon, there is nothing I didn’t love about this single. Felix has proven he has the talent to create a unique track which is guaranteed to be added to any listeners playlist after hearing it for the first time.

A beautiful single packed full of talent and is such a joy to listen too.

10/10 - Siân Parker

Bio

Born and raised in Birmingham, UK singer-songwriter, producer and multi-

instrumentalist Felix creates an undeniably infectious brand of pop that almost always

comes from the heart. Inspired by an extensive array of genres, Felix’s sound is an

impeccably future-forward blend of R&B, synth-wave and pop.

Coupled with his emotively intelligent lyricism and panache for storytelling, Felix has

expertly created a truly unforgettable and utterly addictive sound.

 

Sonically influenced by the likes of Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, Ariana Grande and Bazzi

Felix is also hugely inspired by fashion, art and the people he surrounds himself with,

often writing about the negative and positive encounters that come with that.

Already amassing over 80,000 streams on Spotify alone, Felix’s deep and open-ended

bond with his fans is more than evident. First introduced to the nation after appearing

on The X Factor in 2018, Felix has used his platform to spearhead essential

discussions and bring a level of relatability to his listeners from the very beginning.

Garnering both attention and recognition after appearing on the show allowed for

Felix to perform live extensively all over the country, impressively selling out his first

headline show to a crowd of fans who had come from far and wide to sing along to

every word.

 

Describing himself as a laid back perfectionist, the most vital thing for Felix is staying

connected to himself through expression and communicating with fans to let them

know not only who he is, but that he is experiencing the same things that they are.

With plans for an upcoming documentary, EP and another string of live shows, Felix

has everyone on the edge of their seats for 2021, eager to hear what is next from the

upcoming young artist.
