Ruin St. Lundi Propeller Recordings Released: Out now

We say Let us introduce you to the gorgeous sounds of 22 year old singer-songwriter Archie Langley aka St. Lundi. Having grown up on Hayling Island, Archie found himself living with family, in and out of dead-end jobs, whilst trying to build a name for himself as a singer-songwriter in the Portsmouth and Hampshire area until one night last year he decided to buy a one-way ticket to London. The next evening he played an open mic night where he met some new friends who offered him a couch as accommodation which soon became his home for the next six months whilst laying the foundations of a new life in the capital. His debut single You’ve Got The Wrong Guy released earlier this year clocked up over 250k combined streams with support from Apple Music’s New Music Daily and In My Room playlists, as well as support from YouTube channels Mahogany, Alexrainbird and Indievibes. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, plus tastemakers including When The Horn Blows, Gig Goer’s 'artist of the week' and more. Now back with this heartfelt and delicious piano ballad yesterday (6 May), expect to see more tastemaker love for this atmospheric and touching number. With echoes of Chris Martin and Ben Howard, St. Lundi could quite quickly become your favourite new emerging singer-songwriter this year.   Contact Label & Management: Tom Rose, Propeller Records Publishing: Available Radio: Nick Bray  Online: Lorraine Long, Longevity PR Live: Sarah Casey, UTA
