Jonny Stemp is debuting his sublime debut song "Holy Days" on Best Fit.
20-year-old Stemp has unshackled a refined piece of ambitious soul-pop - like Jungle doing Quiet Storm jams, or Glass Animals raised in the city rather than the rainforest. Stemp merges piano-led emotion with wriggly riffs and gigantic waves of synth - it's heartfelt to be sure as he sings of spiritual awakening, but this isn't a delicate ballad made of glass, it's a titanic epiphany set to noise.
The track was co-written and co-produced with Bubba & Oya (Kylie Minogue, Angel Haze).
