"Sentimental Song (Isolation Demo)" by Diego Philips

Diego Philips

Five years ago, Belgian singer-songwriter Diego Philips began performing with his band in London. Described as a musician with “honey-coated vocals” and “luscious melodies”, he made his name in the UK’s capital, weaving heartfelt poetry with sincere sentiments. Taking influences from the likes of Michael Kiwanuka and Damien Rice, Philips aims bring comfort to his listeners through his music.

Storytelling is one of the key functions of Philips’ songwriting, citing love, sadness and spirituality as his main musical themes. After studying Music Performance in London, he found a group of friends with similar interests, and formed The Pretty Boys. He has performed in iconic London venues, including The Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea and The Dublin Castle in Camden. So far, he has performed in 25 venues in London, spreading his warmth and iconic tracks around the city.

Albums ‘Burning Pieces’ (2014) and ‘Tides’ (2020) illustrate Philips’ progression through songwriting and performance. His previous singles have received acclaim from the likes of Indie Is Not a Genre and The Hype Magazine. His sophomore album ‘Tides’ was produced by James Yates, known for his work with Pulp and Palma Violets.


Sentimental song

Sentimental song is about the essence of my own personal songwriting. I write sentimental songs, in order to comfort the listener", sagt er selbst darüber. Und dass er sich ein wenig davon weg bewegt hatte, wegbewegt vom Songwriting. Der Track selbst überzeugt einerseits durch die Story, rohe Emotionen, menschliches Verhalten und deren Gründe, überdies durch Ehrlichkeit, auch wenn diese manches mal sehr rigoristisch erscheint und andererseits zweifelsfrei durch die musikalische Umsetzung. Unter dem Motto zurück zum Start, zeigt Diego Philips seine Qualitäten erneut und kehrt gestärkt zu uns zurück. Ein Stück "Diego Philips", sozusagen, Lyrics top, Melodie perfekt, was will man mehr, die Isolation als Inspiration hatte, wie man hören kann, auch etwas gutes.
