If Bradley Simpson’s ‘Always Like This’ Screams Paris, Then These Songs Capture The Spirit Of Europe’s Favorite Cities

Bradley Simpson just gave us two of our favorite things: a brand-new single and another leg of his headline tour. His latest track, ‘Always Like This,’ delivers with those gritty guitars, angsty lyrics, and undeniable Parisian flair. Written and recorded in the French capital, it’s quickly become the soundtrack to our dreamy walks through the city’s bustling streets. But Brad’s musical catalog can carry you through Europe’s most iconic cities. In celebration of ‘Always Like This’ and Bradley Simpson’s upcoming European tour, we’re pairing some of his songs with the vibes of your favorite European cities.

Paris: ‘Always Like This’

It’s no surprise that ‘Always Like This’ embodies that bold, romantic, and moody energy we all associate with Paris. The song was written and recorded in Paris, so naturally, it feels like a late-night stroll along the Seine. It’s kinda brooding, a little bittersweet, but ultimately very beautiful. Brad’s influences, like The Black Keys and The White Stripes, really shine through here. ‘Always Like This’ is giving let’s get lost in the citify, even if it leaves us confused and in tears by the end of it. Honestly, this track is your perfect Parisian companion and a full-circle moment when he plays it live in Paris on the 21st of October.

London: ‘Cry at the Moon’

When we think of London, we think of something iconic and electric – with a hint of rebellion. ‘Cry at the Moon‘ is all that and more. The energetic guitars and melancholic edge are the perfect backdrop for a night out in the city. It’s like strolling around Camden, where every street corner is alive with creative spirit. London demands a bold sound, and Bradley Simpson’s ‘Cry at the Moon’ nails this. It’s high-energy with a punk rock twist, making it perfect for London’s edgy, fast-paced vibe.

Barcelona: ‘Picasso’

Of course, we had to pair ‘Picasso‘ with the city of Barcelona. After all, Pablo Picasso himself studied in this amazing city! Barcelona is vibrant and full of life, just like this track. From the stunning architecture of Gaudi to the lively streets of Las Ramblas, it’s a city that’s both dramatic and scenic. And ‘Picasso’ very much gives the same energy. It’s a perfect track that mirrors Barcelona’s playful, artistic vibe. That’s why we “will always keep coming back to” Barcelona, just like “we will always keep” listening to ‘Picasso’ by Bradley Simpson.

Amsterdam: ‘Daisies’

With its laid-back charm and picturesque canals, Amsterdam calls for something mellow but full of life. ‘Daisies‘ is the perfect fit. The song’s slow, reflective feel mirrors the calm buzz of the city. Picture biking under the “Saturday sun” surrounded by the famous tulips (but we can pretend they are ‘Daisies’) with this song playing. It’s a perfect song that reflects love, life, and everything in between.

Bradley Simpson’s music is the ultimate travel companion to Europe’s most iconic cities. His European tour kicks off this October and wraps up in London on November 21st. Want to catch Brad live? You can grab your tickets to see him across Europe here.
