Following his Close To Home debut album announcement earlier this week, Aitch shares his evocative new single, ‘1989’.
Built on the irresistible hook from The Stone Roses’ iconic single ‘Fools Gold’, ‘1989’ is a clever juxtaposition of two prominent musical eras, a bridge joining Manchester old and new, a twin celebration of the city’s auspicious storytelling past and thrilling future. Aitch effortlessly combines the undeniable groove of the legendary Madchester anthem with his quick-witted bars and whip-smart wordplay. Paying homage to the year the original ‘Fools Gold’ was released, ‘1989’ comes with a music video shot on the streets of his home city by Aitch’s closest visual ally, UK creative Kelvin Jones.
‘1989’ is Aitch’s second single from his upcoming debut album. Set for release on 19th August, Close To Home captures a young artist on the verge of global superstardom, spreading his wings and displaying his ever-growing songwriting skills. Close To Home combines a mature and reflective side with the charisma and cocksure swagger he has become known for. Aitch recently anointed as a Forbes Magazine ‘30 Under 30’ name to watch, has recruited an excitingly diverse roster of collaborations for the record.
