My brand new single, the Elton John-inspired “Crystal Mystic”, is out to download and stream on all platforms now! It’s my first new music in two years and is a taste to come of what will be my forthcoming album.
Inspired by my friend Crystal who reads tarot cards in Montauk, the song is about calling out to the universe and being open to what comes your way. Arriving in New York City from Nottingham, England in 2017 with just a suitcase to his name and a fierce ambition to make classic pop records, singer-songwriter Tom Wardle and his brand of soulful pop/rock have already made its mark here in the States. With a voice that Rolling Stone compares to Rod Stewart, the same publication proclaimed his earnest acoustic ballad “Jacqueline” as one of their Songs You Need To Know.
Wardle is currently living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and writing songs towards his debut album, including a tune penned with revered American lyricist Van Dyke Parks, the man who Wardle credits as “Writing the lyrics that inspired me to move to this country in the first place!” He hopes to be able to record in Los Angeles again with a crack studio team whom he now feels he has a winning formula.
