Long Way Down

2013 debut album from the British singer/songwriter. The 22 year old from Chichester, England was recently presented with the prestigious BRITs Critics' Choice Award. The first male ever to win the award, Tom follows in the footsteps of past recipients including Adele (2008) and Florence and the Machine (2009). I hope the album feels human and real and that there are some flaws - because the flaws help make it what it is. Really, I'd love to live in a time when music felt uncontrived and imperfect and gave people a real sense of elevation. When it's sad I want it to be REALLY sad. When it's happy I want it to feel euphoric. I suppose I want the record to express the heightened feelings and emotions we all get in our lives, says Tom.
