18-year-old Nico Cara is making waves with his new single, 'A Fish Hooked On', which mixes elements of indie and pop with Radiohead-esque riffs. Best of all? The track has premiered today on Gigwise as a free download. Listen below, first.
As fresh as talent gets, Cara has previously recorded a BBC Introducing session and also supported Sam Smith (who is kind-of a big deal these days), and if 'A Fish Hooked On' is anything to go by, has a big future ahead of him.
Packed with attitude and personality, 'A Fish Hooked On' brims with emotion, and yet has dark sinister undertones, as it explores a complicated, one-sided relationship. Cara's vocals are hugely distinctive, and the newcomer already seems to have mastered controlled, powerful songwriting.
