Belfast-born and Rotterdam-based artist Curtis Millen has today released his incredibly vibrant new single titled “Small Stuff”.
… anirresistible blast of soulful, 60s-infused indie energy that demands your immediate attention.
One thing that is clear to see from the get-go is how addictive and upbeat it is, with the first 30 seconds being filled with non-stop brass tones, fast-paced guitars, and sexy guitar licks. His vocals are incredibly soulful, with spontaneous vocal moments that reminded me especially of James Brown and all of those acts around that era.
It’s got a delightful 60s feel to it, but with that modern production helping it shine amongst the rest within the genre.
It is such a dynamic single, and way before the halfway point I was finding myself heading into his previous tracks. It is no wonder that his last two singles have accumulated over 150,000 plays between them. He is really starting to hit the nail on the head, and it’s just a matter of time before you’ll be hearing his music all over the world.
