Well the 18-year old singer/songwriter is now back on the scene and he’s announcing his debut single ‘Hole In My Heart’, which he wrote with Roy Stride (a dude who has worked with 5SOS and One Direction).

It’s said to be acoustic guitar driven and perhaps, quite nicely buskerish, which sounds fine to us.

Well that’s good enough for us!

Luke Friend’s ‘Hole In My Heart’ will be out on 30 March and before you ask, he’s currently busy getting the album finished too, so that should be out later in the year.
