The latest single from Man With A Corduroy Heart, “I’m a Little Bit Short” intertwines contemplative folk and twangy rock within sentiments “about being a musician and running out of money,” per the Cambridge, UK-based artist. “I’m a little bit short, can one of you help me out?” the memorable hook lets out, set within a melodic arsenal of guitars and backing vocals. The release is another success from the project, catching our ears earlier this year with the album Things Are A Little Bit….
“Everything’s a fortune, and my belly’s grumbling,” the vocals lament, arising into admissions of shame as tender electric guitar enters. The subdued acoustics and sporadic bursts of guitar enamor throughout, as the track seamlessly alternates between folk-forward introspection and an emotively compelling escalation in the vocal layers and guitar emphasis. Mid-point observations on money — and how it doesn’t solve everything, but sure makes things easier — prove relatable, traversing into a satiating final minute that fully embraces the more rock-minded charisma. “I’m a Little Bit Short” is another resonating success from Man With A Corduroy Heart.
