Track Of The Day 16/6 – Maximillian – Clash Magazine

Maximillian woke up one morning and found himself famous.

Uploading a video to Facebook, he simply wanted to share his music with a few friends, a few curious onlookers - but it quickly travelled around the globe.

A live rendition of his song 'Feelings', it ratcheted up more than 90,000 views in a matter of days as the world began to wonder who this teenage artist could be.

Still only 17 years old, the Danish newcomer seems to be taking the attention in his stride, focussing on what counts: his music.

The full studio version has now gone online, and it's a beautifully frank piece of alt-R&B with that heavenly vocal left largely intact.

He explains: "'Feelings' is a simple song about friendship, about leaving and being left. Its about the state of mind I was in right after my best friend sort of dumped me. This is my way of stating the obvious, that times change and so do people. But Ill also manage and move on."

Tune in now.
