The Scottish singer-songwriter Michael McGovern is a hidden gem who deserves a larger audience. Although, he already gained some audience when the song Evelyn from his second album Thin White Road (2025) went viral. Evelyn is a good example of McGovern's lyrical qualities: in just under three minutes, he paints a sharp picture of an unsatisfying life, a lost love, and unfulfilled dreams. McGovern's flowing fingerpicking style and warm voice complete the picture. Suitable for fans of Leonard Cohen and Ron Sexsmith!
