Darren has written what may be one of his best songs yet. (Which is saying a lot). A truly impassioned anti-war message sung with real heart and anger. Music for grown ups.

Strong stuff. Available 2nd May.

Have you heard about Darren James' new single?

Available on all major streaming platforms from Halloween. It's a good one. If you're at interested in Alternative Rock give him a listen.

You know what would be really great? Give Darren a listen, a like and add 'Bloodsucker' to your playlist on Thursday. The more of us that respond, the more Spotify might spread the word to new listeners. I think he's too good not to share.

Thank you. You're a star. 👊

Here's an interesting question for you. (Don't jump to the end, take a guess and see how close you get).

How many new tracks are uploaded to Spotify every day? The answer might be surprising.

The reason I mention this is because it sometimes seems there are overwhelming odds against ever being noticed. Too much noise for our individual voices to be heard.

I released 'Green' with no promotion, no advertising, no fuss. And still people discovered it, playlisted it and are now voting for it. I've not gone viral, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheerhan won't be looking nervously over their shoulders, but something I created is making a connection with fellow human beings. Isn't that what music is all about?

Oh yes, the answer to the question. Spotify uploads well over 100,000 tracks every 24 hours. Every single day.

Which makes the welcome 'Green' has received so very special to me. Thank you everyone.

(The singer/songwriter chart changes weekly. If you'd like to listen to the song - and I appreciate that very much - there's a permanent link to the main streaming services here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/garycarey/green-2 )
