Will Pope is a folk artist from Rotherham, UK whose debut release “Stormy Seas” received acclaim from the likes of Mahogany and Alexrainbird music. Having been declared The Soundsniffer’s One to Watch for 2024 he has continued to release a wave of new material which has been well-received appearing on official Spotify playlists like “Fresh on Friday ” growing in thousands of streams. His signature style originates from a love of Chet Atkins fingerstyle guitar modernised by contemporary folk acts The Tallest Man on Earth and Luke De-Sciscio and a vocal style like that of Jeff Buckley stemming from a love of rock and soul.
‘At Once’, is the label (Revolver Records) debut for Will Pope. In this track, Pope seamlessly creates an atmospheric soundscape that takes the listener on a journey with textural swells and lulls throughout creating emotional points of interest. Pope’s vocal performance echoes this perfectly with emotional delivery throughout the composition. The overall composition is built on top of a delicate fingerpicked guitar which provides the base for all of the rises and falls throughout.
