Having just announced new album The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light [out Sep. 13], English singer+songwriter and actor Sam Palladio compliments that fanfare with his latest listen “Meanwhile In London.”

The project’s opening number is a soothing curtain-raiser, distinguished by an airy, alt-pop sound and exceedingly amiable vocal achievement. It’s in that melodic verse and hook where this self-introspective cut sets the tone and engages most; as the longtime Brit puts it:

I wanted to make a record opener that spoke to who I am. This is my experience of being a British guy who spent a long period in the States and fell in love. I was travelling so much, missing home and wondering what that person was doing and getting all those intrusive thoughts.

Resonant and relatable.
