Today, Atlantic recording artist Plested shares the official companion visual for his new song "Your Name" off his recently released debut project First & Foremost. Relatable yet bittersweet, the video captures the feeling of being infatuated with someone and not being able to get them off your mind. Watch HERE.
"'Your Name' was written in New York with my good friend Scott Harris (Shawn Mendes, X-Ambassadors)," Plested told Substream Magazine. "We started the session talking about a girl, someone I'd found myself talking about every day, everywhere I went, to everyone I met in LA the month before. So we decided to write the song about that; not being able to stop talking about someone you love or have lost! It's sad because it could be about loss, but it can be happy because it's about remembering someone and having someone to miss."
Released last week, Plested's first body of work, First & Foremost, which features fan favorites "Worthy Of You" and "Habits," is available now at all music retailers and streaming services (Download/Stream HERE). In addition to "Worthy Of You," "Habits," and "Your Name," the 8 track collection includes the previously released and emotionally charged songs, "First Time," "Back Up Plan," "Ribcage," and "Easier Said Than Done" as well another new release, the beautiful "Home By Now (Acoustic)". Leading up to the release of First & Foremost, Plested has also treated listeners to a very special "A Song A Week" project in which he shares demos of unreleased songs as well as personalized drawings on YouTube every week for an entire year. Check out all of the releases thus far and keep an eye out for more on YouTube HERE.
Plested - born Phil Plested - has made a name for himself by penning songs for some of UK pop music's biggest names, including Zayn Malik, The Vamps, Kygo Feat. Miguel, Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy, Calum Scott, and Little Mix, for whom he co-wrote the UK Top 5, 2x platinum single, "Touch." But now Plested has his own story to tell. The gifted tunesmith has crafted a distinctive pop approach all his own, combining top tier songcraft with an irrepressible knack for melody and highly personal insight.
