MUMBAI: Six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning musician, songwriter and producer FINNEAS has returned with “American Cliché,” a fan-favourite from his rousing live set, written, produced and performed by the 23-year old.
Marking his first release of 2021, “American Cliché” is the latest from a steady stream of stellar releases from the talented young artist. Closing 2020, FINNEAS released his first holiday song “Another Year”, following two fiery anthems “Where The Poison Is” and “Can’t Wait To Be Dead”.
2021 has also gifted fans around the world with a string of unforgettable television performances from the young maestro (each directed by Arturo Perez Jr.). Earlier this month, FINNEAS was interviewed by James Corden and performed a captivating live acoustic rendition of “Can’t Wait To Be Dead” on CBS’ The Late Late Show. Last month, he also performed the song with his band on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. FINNEAS also appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America to perform “What They’ll Say About Us”. Written in lockdown, the heartbreaking ballad is a moving dedication to human strength and connection when faced with life’s tribulations. Watch the Sam Bennett-directed official music video here.
