New Irish Music – Miles Away – Whozyerman?
Whozyerman? is the moniker for Paul Savage, who was the lead singer of Waterford-via-Cork outfit O Emperor. This is the first single off his second album, which will be released later this year.
Paul is conducting a one-man war against Spotify. You can hear his battle cry below, and also hear his music on Bandcamp!
“In my opinion, Spotify is leading the charge in terms of a race to the bottom in its respect and value for music with its exploitive royalty structures and use of AI-generated music. This, alongside their running of ads recruiting for ICE in America and their CEO investing in war-tech, has influenced my decision to remove my music from their service.”
“The past can strike you in the strangest of ways
Meet you on that corner from lightyears away
We were just bored kids, swaying in the breeze
Drawing ‘S’s for kicks – oh those hieroglyphs
of a summer malaiseNow miles away – from here”
