London/Hackney-born singer-songwriter Bertie Newman returns with his new single "between the pines", released via V2 Records.

A warm and reflective step into a new chapter, "between the pines" explores the feeling of yearning for a relationship that hasn't arrived yet — imagining what love could look like and the possibilities that come with it. Written during a period when Bertie found himself longing for a deeper romantic connection, the track captures the space between imagination and reality, where the idea of a future relationship can feel almost as vivid as the real thing.

"I was definitely yearning romantically at that time," Bertie explains. "I had this imagination of all the possibilities that could be at some point."

Sonically, "between the pines" sits comfortably within Bertie's tender indie-folk world, pairing understated acoustic textures with his intimate vocal delivery. With echoes of Noah Kahan and early Hozier, the track carries a sense of warmth and openness while retaining the subtle, emotionally direct songwriting that has become central to Bertie's music.

The single follows Bertie's recent five-track EP my dear, porcelain, a deeply personal project exploring grief, growth and acceptance following the loss of a close friend. While the EP looked inward at loss and healing, "between the pines" represents a shift towards possibility — a song about looking forward and imagining what might still be waiting around the corner.

Bertie's ability to turn personal experiences into intimate, relatable songwriting has already earned him a growing international audience. His breakout track "Seaside Eyes" has surpassed 10 million streams.

With support from BBC Introducing, NOTION, Alexrainbird, CULTR and EARMILK, alongside playlist support across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and TIDAL, Bertie continues to build momentum as one of the UK's emerging indie-folk voices.

Growing up in Hackney to musician parents, Bertie didn't begin writing songs until he was 18, when he discovered music as a direct outlet for experiences that were difficult to express elsewhere. Influenced by artists including Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Gregory Alan Isakov and Hozier, his music is rooted in honest storytelling, gentle instrumentation and emotional intimacy.

Following a busy touring year in 2025, supporting Ocie Elliott, Dotan and Ryan Harris across the UK and EU, Bertie will soon join Kodaline for their upcoming UK, Ireland and European tour.

With his tender indie-folk sound and growing international fanbase, Bertie Newman is quietly becoming one of the UK's most exciting emerging artists — inviting listeners into the heart of his story, one song at a time
