Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and now residing in London, soul singer Darren Morgan is living-proof that modern soul and funk music knows no boundaries and is not solely confined to U.S. state lines.
The independent singer/songwriter cites Otis Redding, Beethoven and Frank Sinatra as influences, with the former obviously shaping his sound, judging by his latest single, “Thing About You.” The soul-stirring new song also hints at the influential sounds of other blue-eyed soul singers like the the Righteous Brothers and the Bee Gees with a dash of Hall & Oates.
Check out the song below and stay tuned for more from Darren, who is set to release his new EP, Thinking About You on August 23rd. Pre-order it on iTunes here.
