Since capturing the imaginations of music nerds and tastemakers everywhere with his introductory project, bcos u will never b free, Rex Orange County has been a new talent to watch. With his star rising, the British teen has successfully managed to bridge the gap between his sad-boy acoustic-rock and the brighter sounds of pop music, and his newest single, "Best Friend", which premiered today via Zane Lowe, is the finest example yet of him merging this gap. It's a sunny single for winter that is uplifting, yet buried in the certain sadness that arises from being away from home. You'll like it, surely, and you can check it below while listening to the rest of Rex's music HERE.
