He tries to keep his songs simple and something catchy that would remain stuck in the audience’s head once they listen to it. He picked up the ukulele a couple of years ago and recorded his first single “Don’t Botha” on it.

“Get Out Fine” is a gentle ode to freedom and spreading your wings to seek out new experiences. It talks about building confidence and confronting life’s obstacles with a positive frame of mind. The gentle rhythms of the track provide the igniting spark to break away from painful memories and get out fine in the end. The song is performed and delivered with a sense of honesty and empathy that draws you in without sounding slushy or sentimental.
The pleasing guitar work and soothing vocals should be enough to slow you down, focus your thoughts, and leave you ready to face another day with a positive mindset.
“Get Out Fine” is a song of incredible warmth and sentiment, possibly born of experience and honesty, with a breath of folk-y freshness.
Verdict: Uplifting.
