If anyone involved with Hollywood is reading this, the story of “I Found You” by street buskers turned viral singers Atticus Blue and Leire must be turned into a movie. When? Well, like yesterday because the story behind this track is just as beautiful as the song itself – and the song? Well, on a romance scale of 1-10, it’s an 11.
Both Leire and Atticus Blue got their start singing on the streets of Central London. A picturesque background for two singers working their way through the hustle and bustle of the city. With voices always meant for much more, it didn’t take long for those walking by to take notice. Soon enough, Leire and Atticus Blue found themselves collaborating, and then the inevitable sparks that led to the foundation on which “I Found You” was born. Much like their fellow singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, Leire and Atticus Blue know their way around the sweet spot of a love song.
“I Found You” has such a level of honest simplicity that it’s hard for it not to feel as genuine as can be. You find yourself engulfed in the story playing out as it plays out. Audiences are not only able to fall in love with the song, but take this song and apply it to their own lives because who in love hasn’t been over the moon to “find” their person?
What makes this song even more romantic is that it dropped during the holidays on Christmas Eve. To hear more, check out Leire and Atticus Blue on all major music and streaming platforms now.
