Tom Walker Makes A Fierce Return with single 'Burn' / by Simon King

Tom Walker today makes a poignant return, sounding like you’ve never heard him before on brand new, defining single ‘Burn’. A rally cry from an artist pushed to his limit this is the first single from his long awaited second album.

“The day I wrote ‘Burn’, I thought ‘Fuck everyone, I'm sick of this" Tom summises. “I scrapped a whole album and decided to go back to making songs that I love. Songs that make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Songs that bring a tear to my eye. Songs that actually mean something to me.”

 But now, looking ahead, as Tom succinctly puts it; I will die for these songs. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt like that. You’ve got to ignore what everyone else wants from you, and you’ve got to back yourself.”

And with that, welcome to the exciting, limitless next phase of Tom Walker. A man who knows where he’s headed: to arena-scale songs with molecular-level heart.
