Following a number of raucous British festival slots in packed out tents all over the UK, 18 year old breakout sensation Alfie Templeman has today shared his brand new single and video ‘3D Feelings’ on Chess Club Records. The single launched as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1; Templeman’s fifth consecutive Hottest Record.
Ever since releasing his first single ‘Like An Animal’ in 2018, Alfie Templeman has, with every thrilling move, cemented his position as the teenage icon of his generation. Combining indie-boy-next-door aesthetics with a peerless musicianship – entirely self-taught, he plays no less than ten instruments and also contributes heavily to production on his still-TBA next project – Templeman pushes boundaries like no other teenager. His love of universe building, both aesthetically and musically, shone through on 2021 debut mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough and burns ever more brightly with ‘3D Feelings’. Fresh, bold, youthful and inventive. Alfie Templeman sees an increasingly grey world in vibrant technicolour.
Produced with Will Bloomfield and Vaccines’ frontman Justin Young, ‘3D Feelings’ explores self-reflection, emotional attachment and the multitude of feelings in response to that. Speaking about the new single, which is also the trio’s first collaboration since the effervescent ‘Happiness In Liquid Form’, Templeman explains: “3D Feelings” is about being reminded of your past self in different ways. Whether it’s objects or people, these are all things we feel a deja vu experience from. We get reminded of feelings we once felt through them, and those feelings just hit you and can’t be controlled. It can be a comforting experience, or a painful one, but either way it takes you back immediately to that feeling you once felt and that can be so powerful.”
He continues: “The song came together so quickly as a fun jam between Will & I, the opening guitar lick was made up on the spot after we found a really nice chord progression for me to solo over. Justin then inspired me to write some really cool lyrics for this one, they flow so effortlessly and they’re really fun to sing.”

Debut mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough followed Templeman’s quartet of ardently received EPs – 2018’s Like An Animal, 2019’s Sunday Morning Cereal and Don’t Go Wasting Time, and 2020’s Happiness In Liquid Form – in introducing the world to a prodigiously talented young musician, songwriter, producer and performer.
With well over 100,000,000 streams under his belt already, Templeman’s global appeal is reaching fever pitch. Landing a spot on the 2021 BBC Sound Of and in the BBC’s Brit List initiative earlier this year followed, of course, along with further 2021 tip lists with Radio X, Vevo, Amazon and MTV. His next steps include a maiden US headline tour in November and support shows with fellow rising star Chloe Moriondo. Alfie has also been included in 2021 ‘Ones to watch’ tips from The Independent, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Sunday Mirror and Huffington Post to add to previous accolades from The Observer, The Evening Standard and The Sunday Times.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
