The 13 track album came out on 29 February, is a brightly brilliant example of what is still to come from the 18 year old singer songwriter.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Thai\/Australian independent artist, Aut favours pop stylings for his music, although he also dips into pop-rock, country, electronic, and synth as well. Taking his inspiration from artists such as Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift, Aut is a gifted lyricist, whose songs tell stories, examining his past romances, as well as relationships he&#8217;s had with people in the past. Thematically it forms a coming-of-age album, and is a very positive indication of his talent and future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Assisting Aut in the production of &#8216;LeadOFF&#8217; were Renea Moso, who produced 11 of the 13 tracks, Thomas Crogan (on &#8216;Move On&#8217;), and Chanon Paopatimakorn (&#8216;Slow Motion&#8217;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our favourite track on the album is the slow, anthemic &#8216;Had Nothing But Times We Had Together&#8217;, which comes in at track 5 on &#8216;LeadOFF&#8217;. The song is a fantastic showcase of Aut&#8217;s musical talent, his vocals sweet and clear as he expresses his sadness of loves lost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;LeadOFF&#8217; is available to stream and download from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/37Y3GyAnjWmsfQ7YlCbR8o?si=v6BJ1adNTTGD2SMaqcHcuA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/album\/leadoff\/1497575015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Music<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eegg3xCxFIA&amp;list=PLSm6GvzqWONiw9N9xNjNHX6Bxj8BX1rOD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Aut Ratchaphom online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autratchaphom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/autratchaphom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/autratchaphom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, as well as his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autratchaphom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_54517\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VwmOn5v5mX4?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/VwmOn5v5mX4\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aut Ratchaphom is from Perth, Western Australia, and has just released his debut album, fittingly entitled, &#8216;LeadOFF&#8217;.
