Ahead of the release of his debut solo album ‘The Panic Years’, due out February 28th, Bradley Simpson has recently shared the meteoric new single, Carpet Burn. With its towering pop sensibilities and infectious choruses that light up the room it serves as another pristine pop effort that showcases his vulnerabilities in blistering detail. Written on his 1961 Gibson Hummingbird guitar, ‘Carpet Burn’ was produced by Bradley’s musical collaborator and two-time Grammy nominee BOOTS (Beyoncé, Run the Jewels). Other key collaborators on the upcoming ‘The Panic Years’ album include Andrew Wells (Phoebe Bridgers), Anthony Rossomando (Liam Gallagher) and Ina Wroldsen (Calvin Harris). Bradley says, “‘Carpet Burn’ was the first song I wrote when I got to New York to write the album and it always felt really special. It’s a song about wanting more time with someone special to you, and it came around really quickly. I wrote it in my hotel room in about half an hour and took it into the studio the next day. The main bulk of the finished song was done on that first day. I’ve been playing it at shows for the past few months and hearing the fans singing the words back without the song even being released has blown my mind so I’m excited for them to have the song!”.
