Retro Singer-Songwriter Marti West unveils ‘Nobody Knows Me (Like You)’ Single and announces Talking To Strangers Album
UK resident and musician Marti West released his latest single ‘Nobody Knows Me (Like You)’ on the 3rd of February, ahead of his upcoming album Talking To Strangers, which will be released on the 28th of April via Marti West Music. Notably, the single was premiered by Notion Magazine. The songwriter has been supported by music publications EARMILK, Echoes And Dust, GAFFA magazine, and Indie Music Center. His music has received airplay from BBC Radio 1’s Chillest Show as well as France Inter and Portugal Antena 2. His music has been featured on major YouTube Channels alexrainbirdMusic, M O S T L Y strings, Wave Of Good Noise, and Indie Folk Central among others. He has gained placement on numerous Spotify editorial playlists, including Lost in the Woods, Cafe & Croissant, A Shot of Indie, Rustig & Mooi, and Indie Highlights, raising his stream count to over 10 million and counting across platforms.
Based in London, UK and born in Tuscany to a family of musicians, Anglo-Italian singer and songwriter Marti West has spent the last 6 years building a career through his bittersweet blend of introspective indie folk and ethereal harmonies. His 2016 debut EP Istanbul was followed by a UK tour, where he played some of the country’s iconic indie venues like The Troubadour in Earl’s Court and Bristol’s The Fleece. Months later, his single ‘Feels Like Home’ started turning heads, landing a sync placement on NBC’s The Village. The momentum continued building with his 2019 single ‘Give Me Light’, which was used in Volvo’s First Trip commercial, and was recently licensed for Netflix’s hit movie Love in the Villa. Inspired by acts like The War On Drugs, Amanda Bergman, and Big Red Machine, his music is reminiscent of the likes of Simple Minds, Bon Iver, and The Tallest Man On Earth.
Immersing his signature harmonies in driving drums and ‘80s synths, songwriter Marti West revives an era with his latest offering ‘Nobody Knows Me (Like You)’. A laid-back guitar sets a nostalgic tone, while an iconic vocoder takes us back. The record is a time warp. It’s as if it was taken right out of the classic coming-of-age motion picture The Breakfast Club.
