AN 18-year-old has released his first indie pop solo single.

Alfie Bingham, from Hartlepool, who goes by the name Alfie Blue released a new upbeat anthem 'Dream girl' on all streaming platforms on January 23.

With inspiration from artists such as Dayglow, Boy Pablo and Mac Demarco, Alfie has created a unique dreamy upbeat sound that includes catchy melodies and memorable synth leads.

Dream girl is the debut single of an EP that has been in the works since 2020. It is the first single on the EP that Alfie has recorded which will be out at the end of this year and will include six songs.

Alfie said: “Dream girl is a song that portrays the understanding of growing up and having teenage romances and the idea of falling in love. For me this project has been a way to express how I feel in a dreamy upbeat format. When people listen to my new single, I want there to be a sense of hope to find love even in these tragic times of a pandemic."
