Blair Davie has released his new single ‘Coming Of Age’.

The latest single from the Scottish singer-songwriter was produced by Thom Lewis (Sam Fender) and comes ahead of his UK tour dates supporting Benjamin Francis Leftwich.

Speaking of the single, Blair said: “I was lucky enough to spend a couple days back in June, writing with Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Jamie Squire and Derrick Southerland. I think we had written 3 or 4 songs together already over those 2 days, most of them were ballads. We took a break and went to David’s Deli, an amazing Lebanese place for lunch on the corner by the studio. Derrick asked me if I ever write any songs “with tempo” which means a bit on the faster side. I told him that I don’t often do upbeat songs because I worry that the emotion can get lost and so he set us that challenge of writing a song that still hits the heart but can make you dance at the same time. It was an exciting juxtaposition for sure.

“Coincidentally, an idea had come to me the morning before the session, that gave me the same sense of polarity. It was about how growing up, especially those formative teenage years, were some of both the best and worst times of my life equally. It’s a time where you’re so confused, vulnerable and excited all at once. Your friends and you are growing up at different places, exploring, failing, peaking. No one’s got it figured out but no one tells you that.

“We talked about all this over lunch and the song practically fell out of us when we got back into the studio. We pushed ourselves to be bold, honest and bloody with the lyrics but to keep the music feeling exciting and always moving. I definitely felt scared writing it, pushed outside of my comfort zone. I think that’s what makes the song feel so special to me. It feels like a brave next step for me and I can’t wait to share it.”

‘Coming of Age’ is an addictively euphoric indie-pop anthem that will have you grooving along from the first beat. Its vibrant energy contrasts the depth of its lyrics, which touch on the universal yet rarely spoken-about struggles of growing up that we all experience but never discuss out loud.
