Songs of the year, number 8: Zoe Graham - Even Though I'm Scared (Visualiser)

One of a number of singles the Glasgow singer/songwriter released this year, 'Even Though I'm Scared' showcases a growing maturity in Graham's songwriting, with a strong bridge and soaring chorus. It's a sophisticated slice of indie rock that her heroine KT Tunstall would have been proud of.

In her press release for 'Even Though I'm Scared' Graham says "It's a bit feart to rear it's little head into the world, so please show it some love." This was never going to be a problem because, with three E.P's and two singles behind her, the Glasgow songwriter is clearly coming into her own with this release. 'Even Though I'm Scared' is musically textured, with a great hook leading into the chorus and it just soars, along with her vocal. This could be the one to get her the wider attention she really deserves.
