North Wales singer-songwriter Tom Collins delivers a poignant and evocative new single, Care In The World, a deeply moving exploration of poverty, deprivation, and the resilience of those navigating harsh realities. Released in collaboration with ROC2 Studios in Wrexham, the track pairs Collins’ raw, heartfelt lyricism with a stripped-back acoustic arrangement, enhanced by the gentle swell of violins that add an emotional punch to the song’s climax.
Collins shines a light on the challenges faced by children growing up amid adversity, touching on themes of violence, substance exposure, and societal neglect. Influenced by artists like Jamie Webster and Sam Fender, his storytelling is both intimate and universal, drawing listeners into the vividly painted world of his lyrics.
“Care In The World is a song about life’s hard truths,” says Collins. “It’s about the struggles we see but don’t always talk about. I wanted to create something that resonates emotionally while sparking conversations.”
Collins’ career continues to ascend following his 2022 appearance on The Voice UK, where he captivated audiences with his soulful performances. Beyond television, he has shared stages with notable acts like The View, The Sherlocks, and Andrew Cushin, and collaborated with Kyle Falconer during a songwriting camp in Spain, co-writing “Leaders.” His growing acclaim includes features on BBC Radio Merseyside, BBC Radio Wales, and the award-winning BBC Two Wales documentary Forever Running Backwards, which celebrates North Wales’ vibrant music scene.
With Care In The World, Collins takes a significant step forward in both his artistry and advocacy, presenting a song that’s as much about storytelling as it is about sparking empathy. As he expands his live performances to include a full band, Collins promises to bring even more energy and emotion to the stage, solidifying his place as one of North Wales’ most compelling voices.
