“’12 months is really about how much I hate change. I wrote this song when everything in my life was turning upside down; my friends were moving away, and I was moving house, finishing uni and had no idea what I was doing or where I was living. I loved my student house and student life and I don’t think I was that ready to jump the gun.”

New release ’12 months’ feels like a heavily personal track with scott is okay opening with, “I hate changing”. The chorus is quite catchy and has a bouncy beat, despite being simultaneously tranquil and ethereal.

scott is okay is an intriguing new artist and his new single ‘12 Months’ can be interpreted as an honest account of dealing with adulthood and broken relationships.
