2017.

I swear I’d never heard this song before but it turns out I have. It’s currently being used in a TV ad for a certain well-known brand’s low sugar chocolate bar and therefore it’s in my head this morning. To be honest, from the sound of it when I woke up, I thought it was some lesser known 1970s release that just never got anywhere, how wrong I was!

Written by British songwriter Alexander O’Conner, better known as Rex Orange County, in collaboration with Dutch pop artist Benny Sings, aka Tim van Berkestijn, this is a non-album track that is apparently quite popular on Spotify.

Despite that it hasn’t made an appearance in the official UK charts, although it did make it to number forty in Belgium and number twenty-seven on the US Alternative chart.
