Velika Velika Releases 'Trust' – An Indie Anthem Inspired by Man’s Best Friend

Velika Velika is the project of Coventry-based artist and songwriter, Benjamin Joel Glyn-Davies. 

His latest single, 'Trust', is a vibrant indie rock anthem that fuses joy with a dynamic and captivating instrumental landscape. Expanding on Velika Velika’s signature sound, the track is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern, offering listeners a glimpse into Glyn-Davies’ unique ability to craft immersive and emotive storytelling through music.

At its core, 'Trust' explores themes of loyalty and unconditional love through an inventive lyrical lens. Glyn-Davies describes the track as a “homage” to his dog - his “reckless trust [and ability] to feel unafraid of living.” His songwriting undoubtedly captures this beautiful sentiment, evoking the unwavering devotion that makes the bond between humans and their pets so special. The lyrics strike a delicate balance between playful and poignant, making for a track that resonates on multiple levels.

Sonically, 'Trust' feels warm yet gritty, with rich layers of jangly guitar riffs, sparkling synths, and driving drum samples, giving the song a propulsive energy that perfectly mirrors the boundless spirit of his four-legged friend. The contrast between the track’s anthemic instrumental and its heartfelt meaning makes it all the more compelling, offering an experience that is as euphoric as it is moving.

As the opening track and title of Velika Velika’s latest EP, 'Trust' sets the tone for what’s to come, solidifying Glyn-Davies as an artist with both vision and authenticity. 'Trust' is out now on all streaming platforms.
