NOT WHAT YOU WANTED.

Three words to live by: Will Joseph Cook. The Kentish singer-songwriter made his presence known earlier this year with a sterling debut EP and this week, he makes his major label debut with his sophomore set, Proof Enough. It’s the first cut here that’s the deepest, a minimalist crackshot called “Hearse” that goes straight for the emotional jugular as Cook strums out a strung-out breakup anthem of the highest caliber. In a crowded UK singer-songwriter scene, Cook is one of the beacons shining the brightest, so take a ride with “Hearse” below and keep a keen eye on him in the months to come.
