Fast emerging Mancunian singer/songwriter – GUY HORNE – is back with the summery pop-rock single “Waiting On You”.

Offering a unique blend of soulful pop and heartfelt lyricism on this sun-kissed new release, “Waiting On You” is a feel good anthem laced with dreamy guitars, live hand percussion, and innovative blues-tinted progressions. Hallmarked with his signature vocal rasp, Guy’s enchanting lyricism and raw emotion come together in a track that makes for a fresh, captivating listen ripe and ready for Summer 2023.

Describing the new release as the “British love child of Khruangbin, Jack Johnson and John Mayer”, “Waiting On You” finds Guy expressing the virtues that can come with an attitude to seize the day. Taking inspiration from a poignant line in the Academy Award-winning flick Green Book, Guy explains of the song’s creation:

“[Waiting On You] is about getting on with things in your life rather than waiting for life to happen to you. I was frustrated and felt helpless so I picked up the guitar whilst sitting on the end of my couch and the song came out of me within 10 minutes.” Inspired by a quote from the movie, Green Book: ‘I wouldn’t wait. The world is full of lonely people waiting to make the first move.’”

The new track swiftly follows his wildly received debut single “Morning Light” which received widespread support, saw him performing live on BBC Radio and was featured extensively including YouTube tastemaker, MrRevillz – who boasts over 3.2M subscribers. New track, “Waiting On You” was produced and mixed by Ed Graves and 2023 Grammy Award winner Oli Jacobs (Harry’s House).
