GEMINI)&#8217;"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>With a music career born from the streets of Reading and nurtured through school talent shows, singer-songwriter Etham brings us a new gem: <em>\u2018Put You First (feat. GEMINI)\u2019<\/em>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teaming up with South Korean R&amp;B sensation GEMINI, Etham dives into the pop scene with a mellow track that\u2019s like a breath of fresh air. It\u2019s not your typical collab, as the two rising stars sing in their native tongues, which produces something both unique and equally incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2018Put You First\u2019<\/em> kicks off with this clean electric guitar, setting the stage for Etham\u2019s beautiful vocals to sweep in with this delicate yet powerful feel. GEMINI joins in, singing in Korean, and it\u2019s this unexpected blend that takes the song to a whole new level. Their voices dance together in this mesmerising duet, creating an atmosphere that&#8217;s both chill and captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is most striking is how well both vocal melodies merge with the instrumentation; at not a single point does this track feel empty or that it\u2019s missing something. I\u2019m telling you, this guy is on the brink of something big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019re into music that\u2019s more than just background noise, give <em>\u2018Put You First (feat. GEMINI)\u2019<\/em> a spin. It\u2019s a blend of cultures, a clash of genres, and most importantly, it\u2019s damn good music. Keep an ear out for this one, as Etham is about to shake things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to Etham here:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Put You First\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2O05utqb26Z9QC0AFYOoCI?si=e0269e906c7b42e6&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a music career born from the streets of Reading and nurtured through school talent shows, singer-songwriter Etham brings us a new gem: \u2018Put You First (feat.
