Scottish newcomer Dylan Fraser embraces the dark side of youth on his atmospheric new single, Face Tattoo.

Hauntingly beautiful and poignant, Face Tattoo is a follow-up to Dylan Fraser‘s electrifying debut single, Vipers, released last month. With thumping beats setting a dark tone for the track, it gracefully builds into a gentle yet hooking chorus. There’s an R&B flavour added to the electro-tinged tune, as the passionate vocals and confessional lyrics effortlessly blend to convey a sense of melancholia underpinning the song. Self-directed, the accompanying visualiser mirrors the emotions behind the track perfectly.

Written last year, at a time when Dylan was sofa surfing in London, Face Tattoo finds the 18-year-old looking inwards at some of his key experiences, as he shares:

It’s about being fed up and having nothing to lose, only stuff to gain.
