“Weather the Storm” is a riveting new track from S J Denney, a singer-songwriter based in Suffolk, UK. A lifelong musician whose journey began with vinyl treasures like The White Album and Harvest, Denney’s latest track conjures a strong rock appeal with shades of Brit-pop’s best. From his early days as a choir boy to performing across the UK and Ireland, Denney’s musical path culminates in a satiating sound that feels both intimate and expansive, displayed enjoyably on “Weather the Storm.”

The track grips right away with its stylish, immersive sound. The aesthetic reminds fondly of Blur’s “Mr Robinson’s Quango” with its confident guitar strides and intense brass propulsions. An initially darkened, nonchalant vocal delivery escalates into the “it’s time to disappear…” vocal momentum, then tonally matching the backing instrumentation’s vibrancy in its ardent outpouring. “You pull me under,” the vocals let out during that invigorating central chorus, shifting seamlessly between the more understated ruminations and expressive passion. “Weather the Storm” is a stirring, replay-tempting success from S J Denney.
