His astonishing voice often raises comparisons to the all-terrain vocals of Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, whilst his give-all performance style is inspired by artists he describes as “offering an expression from a deep human place” such as Kate Bush, Karen O and David Byrne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn record, Downey’s drama-filled, spirited songs are vivid and playful but with a raw sophistication, in part courtesy of producer Burke Reid (Courtney Barrett, Julia Jacklin), with an electrifying heft, depth and genuine emotion that nods to contemporaries re-defining the guitar record, such as Anna Calvi and Big Thief. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst single ‘Heart Is An Onion’ is a surreal, existential roller coaster ride towards hope and compassion. As Downey explains, “it’s about empathy and looking into each other’s human layers, seeing that we all have the same clunky, miraculous hearts underneath and finding resilience and magic in that connection.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe track’s bold, saturated sounds are steered by Downey’s determined yet vulnerable vocal performance.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUK Publicist (Hannah Gould) UK radio (Rocket PR)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/pTqefYK2Mq4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks: Heart Is An Onion \/ Sors De Ma T te \/ Half Light \/ Contact \/ Patterns \/\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSame Dream, Every Night \/ Edge Of U \/ The Holiday \/ Never The Same \/ Bobby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"DOT DASH RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39725083328668,"sku":"DASH072LP","price":21.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/RyanDowney-ATonOfColours.jpg?v=1619029387","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/ryan-downey-a-ton-of-colours-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
