First Listen :: Only Real



It seems a little incongruous, releasing something with as sunny and infectiously summery sound as 'Backseat Kissers', but with a midwinter drop Only Real - aka Niall Galvin- is getting us all warmed up.

“Baby music for babies” is how 21 year old West London's Only Real sums up his music: "guitar music for people who don’t like guitars”. With a few video releases - notably the beach-pop 'Cadillac Girl' and 'Cinammon Toast' bringing him to public attention earlier in the year, Only Real now returns with 'Backseat Kissers', his debut single release out on December 10 through ASL.


Encapsulating hip hop and a 90's pop vibe, with a laid over rap by Only Real, it is, he says, "an anthem I have made in my bedroom for the kids who roam all day and float all night. It is a product of the things I see and experience every day in West London.”

Only Real makes his live debut this Friday (December 14) at Birthdays in Dalston, London, with Sunless '97.
