Our Take
Our Take
Stephen Fretwell's latest offering, "Busy Guy," is a delightful fusion of folk melodies, introspective lyrics, and cheeky wit. The album opens with the infectious title track, where Fretwell reflects on the chaos of modern life with a sardonic charm that is impossible to resist.
Throughout the album, Fretwell showcases his storytelling prowess, weaving tales of love, heartbreak, and the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Tracks like "Oval" and "Embankment" are filled with rich imagery and clever wordplay, drawing the listener into Fretwell's world with ease.
Fretwell's songwriting is bolstered by his warm, emotive vocals, which infuse each track with a sense of intimacy and authenticity. His knack for crafting catchy melodies is on full display in songs like "Seasick" and "Put Your Life on It," which will have you humming along on repeat.
One of the standout moments on the album is the haunting ballad "The Long Water," where Fretwell's raw, emotive delivery cuts straight to the heart. It's a beautiful reminder of the power of simplicity in music, and a testament to Fretwell's talent as a songwriter.
In "Busy Guy," Stephen Fretwell proves once again that he is a master of his craft, delivering an album that is both intimate and expansive, funny and heartfelt. It's a must-listen for fans of folk music and storytelling alike.

About the artist
Stephen Fretwell
Stephen Fretwell, the enigmatic singer-songwriter hailing from Scunthorpe, is a hidden gem in the British music scene. With a career spanning over two decades, Fretwell has captivated audiences with his soulful lyrics and melancholic melodies. Having burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, Fretwell quickly gained a cult following with his debut album "Magpie." His raw, honest storytelling and distinctive vocals set him apart from his peers, earning him comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. Fretwell's music is deeply personal, often exploring themes of love, loss, and longing. His introspective lyrics are matched by haunting melodies that linger in the mind long after the song has ended. Tracks like "Emily" and "Run" showcase Fretwell's gift for crafting emotive, soul-stirring ballads. Despite his undeniable talent, Fretwell has remained somewhat under the radar in the mainstream music world. But for those in the know, his music is a treasured secret, a hidden oasis of emotion and beauty in a sea of mediocrity. As a live performer, Fretwell is a master of the intimate and the understated. His stripped-back acoustic sets allow his lyrics to take center stage, drawing audiences in with their raw honesty and vulnerability. In a world filled with disposable pop hits and manufactured personas, Stephen Fretwell is a rare breed: a true artist with a voice and a vision all his own. And for those who are willing to listen, his music offers a glimpse into the depths of the human soul, a poignant reminder of the power of song to touch our hearts and stir our emotions.
