JOE’s Song Of The Day #618: Butler – ‘Applause’

Promising debut from Butler.

'Applause' is the debut single from new Dublin synth-pop artist Butler. Hooky vocals with dance driven drum loops and 80's break beats are his thing and who are we to argue? Butler is the brainchild of multi-awarding vocalist Luke Thomas who is the front man for the legendary Swing Cats. With this new alter-ego, Thomas draws from his love of all things Prince, 80's electro, early dance music and hip-hop. https://soundcloud.com/user-823786313/applause-fortune-mix-4-fd-master-1 It's a very summery, feel-good pop tune and augurs well for future releases. Plans for more releases are underway with some very interesting collaborations with other Irish artists in the pipeline.
