Good Morning! Today's song is Humongous by Declan McKenna.
So this guy is an English singer whose been around since 2014. In 2015, he won the Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent Competition and became the talent that everyone was vying for. He ended up with Columbia Records, who beat out 39 others trying to sign him too. His first release was the same year, although it was up on his YouTube since 2014. It was a politically charged song, criticizing FIFA and there blind eye to poverty. Ballsy for using your first song as a public statement, but it worked out. His next song was much the same, this time taking on the misrepresentation of transgender teens by the media. He's now considered to be a protest singer, but it's not like that's a new thing in the industry. He spent most of 2016 writing, as well as releasing two EP's, before releasing his debut album in 2017. He's done lots of performances, and has released another EP this year, so if you dig the song and want more, go look that up.
Peace.
