Actor Tom Felton has been quietly releasing music for years, his loyal army of fans lap it up, and being a millennial, the algorithms did their job and I was served ‘Red’ Felton’s two song EP that was released two months ago. 

The sound is sun drenched California beach bum crossed with the Surrey Hills, ‘Fairies & Feathers’ is the standout track for me. Delicate female backing vocals complement Tom’s lead, creating a genre-spanning experience. Is it modern folk? Perhaps, but it also features ska-esque horns and a touch of Jack Johnson’s vibe.

I may be making it sound like 10lbs of shit in a 2lb bag but its not, its super catchy, I’m surprised it hasn’t become a trending sound on TikTok.

Take me AwaY is more melancholy, and really shows off Felton’s voice, he doesn’t have a flashy vocal range or a huge belt but a more subtle natural talent and its refreshing to hear a vocal that hasn’t been overproduced. Lyrically it’s a standout, a beautiful song about love and loss 

This weekend ‘Orange’ dropped, another two track offering, hOLDing On is lyrically cute, it paints a picture of enduring love and featured a middle 8 that warranted 4 skip backs.

iN my ArMs delivers a stripped back experience with subtle production and offers and what I am pretty sure is a one take vocal, the song is peppered with little chuckles, telling people that Felton doesn’t take himself too seriously and this is a passion project we are being presented with and not a bid for musical stardom

Will we get more colours? Can we expect the full rainbow? If so, I’m sure we will find gold at the end of it.
