There’s a great deal of soulful elegance in ‘Now or Never’. Moving with evocative charisma and malleable, tender melodies, the track showcases the latest work by British troubadour Martin Yates. Navigating soul and pop with timeless gusto, the talented London-based creative enlists the help of producer Toby Marriot, crafting a slow-paced, bluesy cut that perfectly fits Yates’ nostalgic, magnetic vocal tone. The way Yates makes us relate to the song is particularly endearing, sparking a listening experience that might get emotional for some.
Interpreting love and romance, Martin asks himself whether it is worth rekindling a romance, a question that implies heightened maturity and careful introspection. We deeply appreciate the honesty and raw authenticity behind the song. Yates is not trying to capture a specific trend or a mainstream formula; instead, he sings from the heart, delivering majestic and soaring musical goodness wrapped in vintage elegance.
Taken from the project’s upcoming EP, ‘Now or Never’ promises good things for 2026, and judging by what we can hear in the single, we are inclined to predict a crucial year for the British creative. In fact, if you have enjoyed discovering Yates, there’s a past EP you can look at, ‘Good Enough’.
