Boy Ferguson is a producer and songwriter based in Hackney, London. Working as a composer for commercials, Ferguson found creative freedom in songwriting. His American mother has given him a strong connection to American folk/country music. He produces with an experimental focus but with the performance of a country musician.
Ferguson is a master of tone and paints a portrait of longing on his latest single, “Julia.” The explosive folk-rock tune takes you on a cinematic journey as our hero navigates emotional turmoil over a warping arrangement that never ceases to grow. What starts as a wistful ballad quickly transitions into a stadium-sized anthem centered around dynamically captivating guitar work. The bouncy piano keys and powerful vocal performance beautifully juxtapose each other, but the instrumentation is just the start of our journey. Ferguson’s songwriting is detailed and poetic, creating a nuanced sonic conflict between the heartbreaking lyrics and jovial melodies. Ferguson crafted a vulnerable alt-country tune that shines a bright light on his unique songwriting perspective with “Julia.”
“‘Julia’ is born out of frustration and pleading with someone close to you who is choosing a darker path in life,” explains Ferguson. “This song releases that energy.
