Meet Calum Foad, a 25-year old synth-pop artist, hailing from Reading. he has been singing and playing guitar since childhood. Calum grew into his teens listening to the guitar-driven sounds of Green Day, My Chemical Romance, and Good Charlotte. Offset by his affinity for the nostalgic ethers of the 80s. The idiosyncratic, upbeat-yet-evocative pop sound is a testament to an artist comfortable in his own skin.
High was released this summer. The song embellishes his Pop culture charisma and musical identity. The track surfaces a blend of them feel-good summer beats, grasping at a sense of euphoria and excitement. Calum uses vintage synthesizer styles to create an elaborate listening experience.
