Richard Fairlie - Poison (Single)

After the release of his debut EP; Maybe I’m Just A Little Bit Broken and early summer release 'The Reason I’m Breathing', Richard Fairlie returns with a new electric-guitar led, high energy single, 'Poison' that explores a deteriorating relationship from both sides and the fall-out and self-destruction that ensues.

Says Richard: “I was inspired by a meeting with Omer Fedi, the guitarist and producer behind The Kid Laroi and Machine Gun Kelly at a Youngblood afterparty in LA – He kinda helped me revisit my Pop Punk days – and reminded me of that early visceral energy of Blink 182 and Linkin Park but also made me think of Iann Dior and how he pulls the genre into a more unique pop space with less real drums and more of a rock/trap feel. I also realised I wanted to get some faster tempo into my writing – in anticipation of playing live again. I really wanted something I could run around to on stage and be able to bring some real energy to the shows”.
