Songwriting that goes down like Nicecream in June, a voice with a feel-good character, and melodies to dream away to: Ever since Mackenzy Mackay entered the British music scene in 2022, fans of cultivated pop music have had one more reason to keep the UK’s music scene on their radar. The young singer–songwriter combines the serenity of Ed Sheeran with the coolness of Post Malone and the indie hooks of the Arctic Monkeys along with a laid-back charm. Less than a year after dropping the unlabelled EP “Don’t Wait Up”, Mackay began racking up millions of streams and has since been regarded as one of the most ambitious restorers of British pop music, which has recently gained popularity. Rarely has an indie artist of this quality been so down-to-earth, so unbiased about their own art. The man from Yorkshire has big things ahead of him, as most people are already convinced.
