Didn't know of this until I searched for this gentleman "John Martin" on Wikipedia & voila!! Found one gem of a song!
John Marin is not an unfamiliar name in music world. He is the co-writer and sole singer of one of the my most favorite songs "Don't You Worry Child" by legendary Swedish House Mafia. He had also teamed up with Swedish House Mafia for their song "Save The World". So, John needs no introduction. His voice is probably the best I have heard in songs outside of India.
Lets come back to Children Of The Sun. Its a rap song, something that I would have easily ignored if it didn't have John Martin's name against it. But since I saw his name, I gave it a spin and lo! I was mesmerised to the core!
"Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know"

Children Of The Sun is a kind of song that lifts me up when I feel low. I ignored the rap part since that's not my cup of tea. The hooks are incredibly catchy & John Martin's vocals sound so soothing. I might be wrong but I get a feeling of autumn when I hear it. John's vocal delivery is impeccable and is the USP of this song. Its stellar in its own sense. The vibes I get after listening to it, the feel-good factor, that calmness! The official video is also devoid of typical flashiness & John's presence is always a plus point. I don't know why but John looks like Lord Jesus ;-) And his songs always connect me with positivities. In the world full of trashy music videos & songs, John's music comes to me as breath of fresh air! Listen to it and experience it for yourself. Actual song starts @1:20.
