In The Spotlight

Rebecca Hurn – “Constellations”

Hailing from Cardiff, this Welsh singer and songwriter first got into music taking piano lessons as a child. However, it was the gift of a guitar aged 17 that got her started writing her own music. Since then she’s played renowned festivals like The Isle Of Wight Festival, won several awards such as Best Folk Songwriter in New York’s Independent Music Awards and supported Cara Hammond. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Joni Mitchell and Kacey Musgraves, she debuted with “Waves” in 2018.

Lyrically narrating the feeling of reaching for the stars when starting a new relationship, her new single navigates the vast universe of budding love. Blending elements of folk, pop and country into her unique sound, the song starts with a mellow acoustic guitar. Chasing the clouds away and letting the sun shine through in the lively chorus, she added a bouncy rhythm and a touch more oomph. And with her hypnotic vocal tone, this smooth groove takes romance to outer space.
