Bradley Simpson details his debut solo album, The Panic Years

“‘Holy Grail’ is a song about realising that going through ups and downs with someone you love makes it worth it," Simpson says of the new single. "I spoke about that with my friend Ina, who is an incredible songwriter, and then wrote it around an electric guitar before I recorded anything. Later, BOOTS and I tracked live drums, and I wrote the outro in the studio. It was one of the harder ones on the album to finish because it felt quite delicate and anything we added really needed to earn its place in the production.”

“I hope these songs and stories can help them navigate those experiences," Simpson adds of how he hopes his debut solo album is received. "They can become the soundtrack to their lives, whether they’re dancing, crying, going out or whatever it is. It really feels like an opportunity to let them into a side of my life that I haven’t shared before.”
