With the release of his debut single “Surrender,” Ryan Morgan shows he has all the makings of becoming Australia’s next big pop star.
He’s got a gorgeous soul voice that reminds me a little of Guy Sebastian. He moves like a dream. And he’s definitely got the look. The song’s not perfect, but I can look past that and see real potential. I also appreciate that Ryan wrote it himself after returning from time abroad and feeling a little disillusioned with the music caper.
“‘Surrender’ is a reflection of the way I felt about music at the time,” he explained. “For the first time I felt the effects of the struggle and began to reconsider music as a career, however I came to accept that there was no way I could give up the passion.”
“Surrender” is officially released today. It comes from Ryan’s forthcoming EP, which will hopefully be released in the not-too-distant future.
I can’t say that tourism ads are generally where I go looking for great music, but I found it when Tourism Australia featured Dewayne Everettsmith’s song “It’s Like Love” in their last campaign. I feel head over heels for the tune way back in 2012, and was desperate to hear more. He’ll finally show us what else is in his bag of tricks when he releases his debut album Surrender on March 14.
