Followed By New Single "Refuse" in Oct 2015
This latest news caps off a breakout 2015 for the artist who released his breakout Mellow Drama EP in April. Featuring widely lauded singles "Coloring" and "Control". The collection - premiered via The Fader saying "It fits in somewhere between
James Blake and
Sam Smith and plays like the sonic equivalent of leaning into an extant bruise-but he promises it's not meant to hurt, at least not too much".
"Coloring" debuted via Pigeons & Planes and charted on Spotify's Viral 50 List. "Control" premiered via Billboard and saw praise from VH1, Just Jared, and more.
Garrett followed with his latest single "Refuse" in October 2015 as he wrapped up a successful CMJ - which gained artist-to-watch praise from MTV and The Grammys - and embarked on a multi-date run with X Ambassadors. The track premiered via Nylon who praised it as "a soulful, piano-driven ballad that slowly unravels, like the layers around your heart."
Known for poignant out-of-love songs that combine a reverence for classic soul with modern electronics and traditional instrumentation, the Brooklyn-based, Pittsburgh-born singer-songwriter counts heavyweights such as
Sam Smith and
Katy Perry among his most ardent supporters. Garrett has shared the stage with with X Ambassadors, James Vincent McMorrow, Emily King, Norah Jones, and Maps & Atlases, performed at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and
Montreal Jazz, and charted on Spotify?s Viral 50 list.
