Beginning with a sample of birdsong recorded on his phone when struggling with writer’s block, ‘When I Try’ is the second single from Hydromag’s upcoming EP ‘This Is Fleeting’. Inspired in part by his affinity with the beaches of Cornwall, the track began life when Josh Best-Shaw (Hydromag) took an old keyboard up to the North Coast, and wrote the song in a couple hours. Bedroom recording genius Hydromag writes as he feels – thats what makes us connect with him.
He amassed so far, over 300,000 plays total on Spotify, radio plays on BBC Radio 1and Radio 6 Music, Reached top 20 on Amazing Radio.
