A gifted guitarist with a powerful post-grunge croon, 23-year-old U.K. import Newton Faulkner had a huge hit at home with this acoustic-based soft-rock anthem, which combines pure pop melody with an organic, handmade feel.

The soul-searching signature track from debut Hand Built by Robots develops a breezy hook so effortlessly infectious, it’s destined to soar beyond triple A radio, where it’s building right now. More Eddie Vedder than Jack Johnson, Faulkner’s voice is full of yearning, suggesting someone who has never seen a beautiful tropical beach, but keeps dreaming about it every night.

Newton Faulkner is a massively successful new artist in the UK and Europe. He has a huge following in the UK surfing community. His debut album went double platinum and spent two consecutive weeks at Number One in the UK charts.
