Hertfordshire-based singer-songwriter Petrie has taken a rather considered approach to his output this year, tweaking and perfecting his electronic-tinged pop-R&B sound. His latest single, "To Swim", is a splintered alt-pop slice of magic, co-written and produced by the artist himself—alongside his best mate Better Laurence. Over email, he explained to Complex that "'To Swim' is both a series of observations on hedonism and a cautionary tale, with an unnerving description of comfort-obsessed youth." With his debut EP on the horizon for 2017, Petrie can do no better than to introduce himself with this stellar single. Listen down below.
