Dylan Menzie - 'Strong Enough'
Since 2013 Dylan Menzie has been building a catalogue of strong, award-winning music – and new single ‘Strong Enough’ cements that further.
A fine track for people who are fans of James Bay, Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendez.
Following on from his acoustic EP ‘Modern Classic’ – which gained him the title of Rising Star Recording of the Year for 2022 at the East Coast Music Awards – he is back with this new track, taken from his new album ‘North American Dream Kid’ – which is due out in September.
On the album’s debut single ‘Strong Enough’ - Menzie and his cast of collaborators including; Tyler Chester, Joshua Van Tassel, Tim Chaisson and more - they use a unique mix of funk, pop and Irish fiddle - along with honest and hopeful lyrics to create a catchy and heartfelt song about pushing ahead and not giving up on yourself.
“You’ll never be alone again”, sings Mancunian’s finest wordsmith Antony Szmierek, and it’s hard to argue with him after a joyous night filled with dancing in a sold-out Kentish Town Forum to his garage beats and spoken-word. Nobody felt alone that night, that’s for sure.

Doom, dystopia and a sense of hope that feels scarily out of reach in Dopamine Chamber sees Fontaines D.C. cementing themselves not just as one of the best, but as THE best there is.
Known for bringing music and conversation together - Stornoway have just released their new album 'Beyonder' via Cooking Vinyl.
Loud, infectious, poignant, confident, reflective, Basht. knock down all expectations and then some with debut album, Poor Advice.
There will always be something inherently bittersweet about listening to a band’s final album.
