Maverick Sabre - Open My Eyes x I Can Never Be

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Maverick Sabre's highly anticipated debut album, Lonely Are The Brave, which was released today on Mercury. The London-born/Irish-raised Soul singer has had two Top 20 singles with 'Let Me Go' & 'I Need', but the album as a whole is simply a breath of fresh air with the combination of Mav's incredibly unique husky vocal tone and laid-back production creating a unique style of Soul/Hip-Hop. The album is just £6.99 on iTunes, and you can pick up your copy HERE. Massive fan, and have a feeling he will only get better.
