Claude says:Barns Courtney, the English singer-songwriter behind the Spotify-smash "Glitter & Gold," started out fronting an indie band whose debut got shelved by contractual quicksand with producer RedOne — it wasn't until that deal imploded that he could release "Fire" and go solo. Golden Dandelions is soft rock with acoustic bones, folk leanings, and just enough grit to keep it from drifting into coffeehouse wallpaper. You gave it a quick spin in early 2020, mostly the stripped-down acoustic title track, but it never stuck around.
