Liam Mockridge – Overrated / Magic Like This
With his latest single ‘Overrated’ (Release Date: September 1st, 2023) Liam Mockridge once again delivers an undeniably groovy anthem with his trademark horns, strings and catchy vocals. Over the span of 3 minutes and 30 seconds Liam displays his unique talent of intertwining live band elements with modern beat-based production, giving us a track that feels equally fit for the dance floor and a beach festival in 1976. The restrained vocals added by the singers of German indie outfit Zimmer 90 and the lo-fi disco groove built by Dutch producer Moods, feel perfectly fit to take the listener into Liam’s world. We’re taken deeper, exploring lyrical themes of a modern youth society driven by material things and the troubles that come with trying to be cool. Well, one thing that isn’t overrated is this new single…
