Dominic Wright – “Picking At The Bones”

Raised in London and based in Brighton, this emerging British singer and songwriter was introduced to music by his father and used it as an emotive lifeline when his parents divorced. After his move to Brighton, he studied at BIMM. During lockdown he took to TikTok and started releasing a new cover every week, from Billie Eilish to The XX. He also got to play The Great Escape festival this year. Inspired by Lyle Lovett, Passenger and Elliott Smith, he released his debut “I’ll Be Alright” in 2024.

Singing about the emotional weight of feeling that you’re losing your identity – your sense of self – during a relationship, his new single combines the introspective lyrics with a breezy, indie-pop melody. Taken from his upcoming debut EP “Ghosts”, expected on September 6th, the track is driven by a throbbing beat. Layered with a laidback guitar, airy harmonies and a touch of retro vibes, it’s his lithe vocals that fuse all elements together with a welcoming warmth and honesty.
