And my favourite new songwriter is Joe Banfi from Sheffield. He's dark, edgy, serene and beautiful. Ben Lovett banfibeautifuldark Change image and share on social

'I Just Might Pray' by The David Mayfield Parade has an upbeat tempo without being sugary sweet. 'I Just Might Pray' is an enjoyable track and is easily listened to. As a side note, the video for 'I Just Might Pray' is absolutely adorable. Ben Lovett absolutelyadorabledavid share on social
