SINGLE REVIEWS
BOOT MAGAZINE - HEARTBEAT
'a minimalist masterpiece - a strikingly raw and intimate exploration of love and loss delivered with a level of emotional depth that belies his age.'
​
'A Clairo and Conan Gray indebted Indie-Pop burst'
​
'He manages to strike a balance between restraint and vulnerability, avoiding the trap of trying too hard to make his point. Instead, 'Heartbeat' thrives in its subtlety, a reflection on the ache of lost love that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.'
ALL INDIE MAGAZINE - HEARTBEAT
5/5 star review of new single Heartbeat by All Indie Magazine based in Manchester.
​
'feels like a pulse-driven journey through modern electo-pop, but with raw emotional edge that sets it apart from the slick, overproduced fare dominating the scene'
​
'Temps vocals are airy yet grounded, capturing both the thrill and anxiety of intimacy with a subtle grit that recalls early 2000s indie electronica.'​
SUN 13 - HEARTBEAT
First review for Heartbeat as it was released on the 24th of September.
​
'Miles’ voice is distinctive and emotive, with the word ‘angelic’ popping unbidden into my mind. His tones are well suited to introspective ruminations on life and love and are pitched high in the mix, a trick that only works if the vocals are good enough. They are.'
​
'However this is not a down song, despite the chorus finishing on “the way it hurt when you moved on”, there is a beauty in expressing emotions like this, a catharsis that many people will be able to relate to.'

'The highlight of my night was definitely Miles Temp. With just his guitar and voice, he totally held the room in the palm of his hand. His voice is extremely powerful and his original songs were so vulnerable and compelling. The room fell silent a few times. With such presence, it’s hard to believe Miles is just starting out. I’m eagerly waiting to hear more from him!'

There were many people in the crowd taking video recordings and even phoning friends to hold the phone up and saying “Listen to this!” Miles sounded on top form.
