Tom Walker has returned with his brand new single, “Wait For You.” Recorded during lockdown, there’s a sense of urgency in this deeply personal new track that resonates strongly for these times. Written by Tom along with Joel Pott (George Ezra, London Grammar, Mabel) and Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), produced by Cam Blackwood and mixed by Spike Stent, Tom’s voice has never sounded better.
“This song is about a mate of mine who went through a life changing event as a teenager,” Tom explains. “It took a long time for him to heal and aspects of what happened have taken a toll on his life. Fast forward to now and he’s one of the most outgoing, positive people you could ever meet.
It got me thinking that we can all go through tough times; it’s what you chose to do after that is important. If something positive can come out of it, that’s a really special thing.”
The deeply personal narrative and emotion is reminiscent of much of Tom’s canon of hits, especially “Leave A Light On.” He is currently working on a new album, so watch this space for more soon.
