In just a few years, Reading-based singer-songwriter Etham has achieved a remarkable rise. Starting his musical journey at 15 by busking on bustling street corners and uploading heartfelt covers to YouTube, he quickly gained widespread attention. Fast forward to today, Etham has amassed an astonishing 400 million streams and performed alongside industry icons such as John Newman and James Morrison. Now, he returns with his first release since 2023: a tender and soul-stirring ballad titled “There For You”, accompanied by a mesmerising visual.
Overflowing with romanticism and rich lyricism, “There For You” is a captivating comeback. The song delivers a bittersweet apology through soaring, emotive vocals and heartfelt lyrics, set against delicate, minimalist piano keys. Its accompanying visuals feature an intimate, evocative piano performance from Etham and a touching fairy-tale romance, centred on childhood sweethearts navigating life’s tribulations. Together, the song and video showcase Etham’s extraordinary talent for crafting immersive narratives, beautifully enhanced by his lush instrumentation and distinctive vocal style.
On making the track, Etham explains, “I was actually working on something else, but when I took a break, I sat at the piano and the chorus just randomly came to me… the lyrics just fell out at the same time. After 3 days the track was finished, this song felt like a special one.”
