Plested came to be when Phil Plested, who has written for big name artists including Kygo and ZYAN, decided to keep some of his songs for himself and launch a solo career, and I am so grateful for that decision. I came across the folk-pop tune “Backup Plan” a few days ago when it was added to one of my playlists, and it was just the little gem that I needed. Plested forgoes an instrumental intro and dives right into the lyrics of this tune which is very fitting for a song about taking chances and not looking back. It is definitely a tune you will want to add to your road trip playlist. After hearing “Backup Plan” I searched for other music by this British artist and also have “Make a Start” and “Priorities” in heavy rotation.
If you like Niall Horan’s new album Flicker or the band Wakey Wakey (formerly Wakey!Wakey!) you will love Plested. Give him a good listen and let me know what you think!
