WHAT IT IS: This British singer/songwriter, who boasts 950m+ global streams to date, is set to release his debut album this spring. The upcoming set will include his breakout single, “When You Love Someone” (423m streams), “Say Love” (110m streams) and the forthcoming single, “Incredible.” Widely appealing but hardly typical, TW’s songs demonstrate critical elements of experienced songwriting that resonate with ease, weight and a sense of staying power that’s rare in today’s pop music. Consider him the missing link between Laurel Canyon and Motown.
