Fetherstone’s breakout single, ‘Don’t Look Back’ becomes the starting point for her new style of storytelling, detailing the struggle of the artist, and the seemingly endless waiting game for the next opportunity to come along. Produced in collaboration with London native Harry Tarlton (Signed to Kobalt Music Group, Chi), the upbeat, 80s synth-infused track showcases her new electronic direction, while putting her delicate yet powerhouse vocals front and centre.
'Don't Look Back' is the precursor to Fetherstone's debut EP, due for release in early 2017. This EP will be a collection of her stories, laying the platform for a series of future releases pulling inspiration from friends, family, and people she hasn’t even met yet.

LYRICS
My living room, is feeling empty.
The light exposing all the holes I'm yet to fill,
Yet to find the furniture.
I’m living in a nursery of hope.
But I don’t know where to look,
And I don’t know who to ask for help.
The movie reel is playing in my mind,
Over and over,
Over and over.
I don’t wanna wait, one more day.
I don’t wanna waste another minute more,
This is what I'm living for.
I know I could spend my whole life dreaming,
Don’t wanna pretend that I’m ok with that.
The hardest thing for me to do,
Don’t look back.
My heart bleeds, with a yearning,
To find the missing pieces.
I’ve built a bridge, that I might need,
To leave the footprints that I’m meant to leave.
But now my feet won’t move.
But I don’t know where to look,
And I don’t know who to ask for help.
The movie reel is playing in my mind,
Over and over,
Over and over.
I don’t wanna wait, one more day.
I don’t wanna waste another minute more,
This is what I'm living for.
I know I could spend my whole life dreaming,
Don’t wanna pretend that I’m ok with that.
The hardest thing for me to do,
Don’t look back.
They say it's coming.
They say it's round the bend.
My eyes are open.
Why can't I see it then.
They say it's coming.
They say it's round the bend.
My eyes are open and I can't see anything.
I don’t wanna wait, one more day.
I don’t wanna waste another minute more,
This is what I'm living for.
I know I could spend my whole life dreaming,
Don’t wanna pretend that I’m ok with that.
The hardest thing for me to do,
Don’t look back.
