London-based artist Finn Doherty unveils his highly-anticipated debut EP, "if you're bored of this city," a seven-track exploration of desire, self-destruction, and the complexities of navigating young adulthood in a bustling metropolis. Mastered by Lavar Bullard, the project delves into a pivotal period in Finn's life, capturing a whirlwind of emotions through introspective lyrics and a blend of pop, indie, and electronic influences.
The EP chronicles a restless night, mirroring the internal turmoil of a young artist grappling with self-discovery and burgeoning sexuality. Six of the tracks are accompanied by music videos, further amplifying Finn's vision and artistic voice. "if you're bored of this city" boldly tackles themes of queer identity, aiming to foster inclusivity and connection for listeners who may share Finn's experiences.
A centerpiece of the EP is "your love won't take me home," a poignant acoustic ballad that lays bare the vulnerability of unrequited love. This emotionally intelligent track captures the bittersweet acceptance of a relationship reaching its inevitable end. As Finn explains, "This song speaks directly to the feeling of falling for someone who will never reciprocate, a universal experience for many queer individuals."
Beyond the introspective moments, "if you're bored of this city" showcases Finn's versatility with tracks like "Call It Off" and "Figure It Out," where he blends pop and electronic elements to explore themes of lust, heartbreak, and solitude.
With a string of upcoming live dates, including performances at Latitude Festival and First Light Lowestoft Festival, Finn Doherty is poised to break out as one to watch. "if you're bored of this city" serves as a powerful introduction, establishing him as a rising artist with a distinct voice and a compelling narrative to share.
