The track’s title reflects Nevmore’s own evolution, inspired by Wayne Rooney’s rise from teenage wonderkid at Manchester United in 2004 to taking the iconic number 10 shirt in 2007. Drawing inspiration from the current mellow scene and artists including namesbliss, DeeRiginal, Saiming and Paul Stephan, Nevmore describes the single as his introduction to a different side of his sound.
Accompanying “8 to a 10” is a Dave Lunt directed video filmed around Primrose Hill and across London, capturing the capital in the summer sunshine. The visual arrives on September 3, with “8 to a 10” released across all major streaming platforms on September 4.
