Alongside Peace and JAWS, Swim Deep are one of the B-town boys preaching love and rock’n’roll happiness from Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown. For the Outspoken issue, we photographed the quartet for a very special champagne-fuelled karaoke session and asked them to sing the most gloriously, hand-on-heart personal anthem we could think of: R Kelly’s ‘I Believe I Can Fly’.

We think they did pretty well – do you? Other loud-and-proud musicians in our Outspoken issue include Swedish chanteuse Beatrice Eli, A&R favourite Rainy Milo and ex-New Young Pony Club keyboardist turned frontwoman Lou Hayter – and of course, Taylor Swift herself. Although we don’t know if she’s an R Kelly fan too.

Swim Deep’s debut album, Where The Heaven Are We, is due out on 29th July on Sony.
