The 19-year-old premieres his lighthearted video for yearning new single.
Viral internet musicians are more common lately and 19-year-old Houssein is no stranger to the immediate popularity when it comes to becoming the latest social media sensation. Much like Shawn Mendes, Houssein performed cover songs online through Vine and Musical.ly which ultimately helped him gain a steady and loyal following.
Originally from the U.K., the pop singer has curated a sound that contains the perfect mixture of electronic and synth-pop. Unlike his previous singles '5 Bucks,' 'Summer Night,' and 'Tokyo,' his newest release 'Walking Away' is calmer—a soothing transition into a softer side to the teenager's creativity.
With an acoustic feel, 'Walking Away' allows Houssein to dig deep, exploring the topic of finicky relationships. While the beat might be lighthearted, it unveils a discussion of approaching problems with your significant other rather than avoiding them altogether.
Houssein's lyrical writing is fresh and promising—to have a singer-songwriter creating tracks so early on that are catchy but riveting at the same time can be a rarity. Well on his way to becoming a massive popstar—exuding charm and potential, Houssein is the next young talent we have our eyes set on.
