I first heard Ryan Scott perform when the singer and bass player for one of his side projects failed to show up on time. He wowed the club with several solo tracks before his mates arrived.
Now Ryan has a solo album coming out in June and his label has released this first single as a promo track. You Girl is a nice, rambling tune with some jazzy cool guitar.
