ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Westerman — the South London-born and Athens, Greece based artist — has returned with his first single in two years, “Idol; RE-run”.

Written after he emerged from a period of disenchantment with making music, and with the future of his career feeling abstract due to the pandemic, it seemed unclear to Westerman whether the material he was working on would ever be heard. Creatively, this uncertainty offered a strange kind of freedom, and accommodated some of the most adventurous and unselfconscious songwriting of his career.

Co-produced with producer & percussionist James Krivchenia, “Idol; RE-run” is the first taste of Westerman's output during this period. Composed shortly after the storming of the US Capitol, “Idol; RE-run” is a meditation on false prophets and poisonous internet echo chambers, and an exorcism of sociological frustration.

In 2020, Westerman released his debut album 'Your Hero Is Not Dead', a graceful and self-reflective project that continued the artist's journey from pop maverick to one of the most vital voices coming out of the UK. 'Your Hero Is Not Dead' features the stand-out songs, "The Line", "Your Hero Is Not Dead," "Waiting on Design," "Think I'll Stay" and "Blue Comanche" and is the follow-up to his critically-acclaimed Ark EP.
