Finn Doherty - If You're Bored Of This City (EP)

From debut EP, one-to-watch Finn Doherty captures emotional vulnerability with 'Your Love Won't Take Me Home'.

From the heart of London's underground pop scene emerges Finn Doherty, a sensational songwriter and performer who is embarking on an exciting new chapter with his debut EP. Tilted, if you're bored of this city, the release captures the experience of the disillusioned youth who were promised big city dreams only to discover that there's not much support or a place for them. The musician has already created community events to fill in the gaps left in places like London, such as his parties with Gossip Queens.

Central to the narrative of this EP is focus track 'Your Love Won't Take Me Home', a vibrant piece of storytelling that summarises the encounters of unrequited love and impulsive lust that punctuate our formative years. With a fresh indie-pop approach and a sophisticated production, this heartfelt slow-burner sounds instantly youthful but not immature. It's clear that Doherty is a deep thinker, one who reflects upon each interaction and significant moment, taking what he needs and leaving the rest. His reverberated voice floats with great ease across the euphonious soundscape, delivering profound lines like, "I can't find my truth, who am I kidding, I'm wasting my youth." Compared with other EP tracks like 'KMU' and 'Call It Off', this track's relative simplicity allows Finn's emotive performance to take center stage, with each word resonating with sincerity and passion.

As a deeply personal and evocative piece, 'Your Love Won't Take Me Home' resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unreturned affection, solidifying Finn Doherty's place as a compelling new voice in London's music scene.
