British soul musician Aaron Taylor releases 5-track EP ‘Have A Nice Day’, alongside a heartwarming music video for its title track, his first body of work since his dazzling debut album ‘ICARUS’ dropped in 2020.
‘Have A Nice Day’ oozes laidback soulfulness as he captures the highs and lows of everyday life. Drawing upon fatherhood, contentment and simple pleasures, the London-based artist transforms the mundane into magic with five tracks of feel-good R&B. The project includes recent singles ‘Ebbs and Flows’, ‘Coffee In The Morning’ and ‘Patience’, plus new song ‘Joy Inside’ and the EP’s title track, which has been released with a quirky music video that stars a puppet version of Taylor as the pair tackle the day ahead.
Speaking of the inspiration behind ‘Have A Nice Day’ EP, Aaron Taylor explains: “The EP went through several variations and tracklist selections, and eventually I noticed a theme of what I describe as a “day in the life” of Aaron Taylor. There are songs about morning coffee, about wanting to have a nice day, about just taking it easy. Becoming a father has highlighted the importance of enjoying each day as much as possible and reminded me to take pleasure in the simple things. Musically, this selection of songs flowed best and were mostly composed within a similar window of time.”
Filled with warmth and relatability, ‘Have A Nice Day’ showcases Taylor’s timeless R&B sound with silky production elements and soothing vocals. From the title track’s positive intent, the down-tempo ‘Ebbs and Flows’ provides a feeling of comfort, before ‘Patience’ leans into Taylor’s gospel influences with the help of U.S singer songwriter Madison Ryann Ward, serving as a peaceful reminder to be OK with the average pace of life. This freeing sound bleeds into sentimental offering ‘Joy Inside’ which pays tribute to the love he feels for his newborn son (and includes vocals from his sons’ mother), before ‘Coffee In The Morning’ lovingly rounds off the project as Taylor describes wanting to be everything to a person.
Now surpassing over 100 million Spotify streams, Aaron Taylor has built an impeccable reputation as a British singer songwriter. He made an early impact when one of his first solo tracks ‘Lesson Learnt’ was picked up by Apple TV and used globally in one of their adverts, and has gone on to develop a diverse and dedicated fanbase. With over 1.2 million Spotify listeners per month, widespread radio support comes from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and many more, while there’s been co-signs from tastemakers Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and even Elton John.
