Esser - Satisfied (single)

(A report for Nerve)

The second release from solo singer Ben Esser, who is due to release his debut album – Brave Face - at the end of April.
The single has a distinctly Latin American influence, with a piano playing an old-style tango and the sounds of clapping accompanying the singer’s vocals. So, even though the lyrics are pessimistic – he laments how “even when you say ‘I love you’, she’s still not satisfied” – the song still has a summery feel to it.
Esser is about to embark on a UK-wide tour and will appear at Thekla in Bristol on April 23rd and Southampton Joiners Arms on April 24th. He will also appear at a number of festivals over the summer.
