Steve Appleton

At the tender age of 23 Steve Appleton has certainly achieved a great deal. This Surrey resident's smooth vocals mixed with a touch of drum and base creates an incredible texture to his music that hasn't been created before. Don't get me wrong, Appleton's music still fits into the acoustic/ indie pop genre, the drum and base effects just amplify his voice and add a more upbeat atmosphere to his flawless music. Appleton was the face of the Smart (car) campaign, he appeared in a TV commercial preforming his most credited single 'Dirty Funk'. This is the song of his which I would most recommend you listening to, the real life lyrics gives you as a listener something to relate to while the smooth guitar layers make the song perfect for a summers day. I also recommend listening to Appleton's cover of 'Fast Car' originally by Tracey Chapman. No words can describe how good this cover is, the beautiful harmonies make me believe that this cover could be even better than the already incredible original song. Believe me that comment coming from a huge Chapman fan is praise of the highest form. Listen and see for yourself though....
