Beauty
Released 28/09/22
Inspired by this quote from C.S Lewis:
‘We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words — to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.’
Higher
Released 29/07/22
'I come across several tunes on a daily basis, but this artist stands out not only because of his distinctive sound but how his dulcet tones share the desperation and hopefulness of the songs' - The Other Side Reviews Music Blog
'Phillimore’s authentic Billy Bragg style vocals are the main focus of Higher, but there truly is some superb incidental guitar riffs, and we love the toms work on the drums. The vocals are clear and just a touch vulnerable and serve to show the great versatility in this artist." - Send Me Your Ears music blog
'We adore the lyrics that draw the listener in with their authentic vibe and charismatic delivery. In addition, the melodies are catchy and stay with the audience long after the music has ended.' - FV Music Blog
All I Have Is Now.
Released 06/05/22.
'All I Have Is Now is sweet, hot, light and intense at the same time, an incredible track' - Indie O'clock music blog
' All I Have Is Now, is a beautifully evocative singer-songwriter style track with a charming Englishness about it. A very gentle reminder to be grateful for everything good in our lives – including this great new single.' - Send Me Your Ears music blog
'...while there is a mellow, laidback tone to the single, a melancholic quality can be felt throughout. Perhaps it’s the simplicity of the melody that sends shivers down your spine, but I believe the lyricism has a strong spine-chilling effect.
Intimate and endearing, Phillimore uses a personal narrative to reach listeners on another level.' - The Other side Reviews music blog
Released 08/0/22.
‘There’s patches of Oasis, there’s patches of Blur in this song, but there’s also something so truly unique about it that it really stands alone as a shining example of an artist following their own true path.’ - Send Me You Ears music Blog
'Smooth, flowing and soothing with a melodic arrangement, the track tips you immediately into a kaleidoscopic sonic whirlpool. Oddly enough, instead of whipping your head about in the whirlpool, Phillimore wraps you in a warm, comfortable blanket. The richness of the arrangement fuse with the boldness of his tender vocals – and oh, what vocals they are.' The Other Side Reviews
‘[A] charming and compelling single ‘A Little Piece Of Me’. With a charismatic vocal performance and memorable chorus…’ - FV Music - music blog
