There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that doesn’t come from a breakup, but from success. From building the life you said you would, only to look around and realise that one specific person isn’t there to see it. That’s the ache at the centre of “Come Along”, the brand new single from Doncaster’s rising star, ADMT.
Out now via BMG Records, Come Along marks a powerful new chapter, rawer, more honest, and still deeply rooted in that soft-spoken Northern charm that first put him on the map. And if you’re hearing echoes of early Ed Sheeran in the storytelling and stripped-back vulnerability? You’re not the only one.
From Busking to BMG — and Still Keeping It Real
For those new to him: ADMT, real name Adam Taylor, is a singer-songwriter from Doncaster with a backstory that genuinely reads like a film script. He was a drummer, then a reluctant frontman (pressured by mates at a party), and eventually found himself busking around Yorkshire during lockdown just to keep music alive. A viral cover of 50 Cent’s “Best Friend” — later shared by 50 himself — catapulted him to a global audience, but ADMT’s heart has always been in his own stories.
And that’s what Come Along delivers. It’s a quiet, reflective gut-punch about the people we thought would be there forever.
“They were there when I said, ‘I’m going to do this thing’… and now I’ve done it, and they’re not here to see it.”
He wrote it on a train to London. And you can tell, the lyrics sound like they’ve been scribbled in real time, mid-thought, heavy-hearted.
Donny Swag and DIY Heart
When asked to describe his sound, ADMT will dodge the genre labels. He prefers to say it’s just him — emotional, unpolished, honest. But if you really want to categorise it? One producer once called it “Donny Swag”, and honestly, that fits.
There’s a Northern grit to his songwriting. It’s not trying to be pretty, it’s trying to be true. Tracks like “Without You” and “Man Now” reflect lived experience: family trauma, mental health, class struggle, and the chaos of self-worth. Nothing is sugar-coated, but everything is wrapped in melody.
And despite now being signed to BMG and playing festival slots from All Points East to Reading & Leeds, ADMT still talks like he can’t quite believe it’s happening.
“I’m just a kid from Donny,” he told FAULT. “I dunno what’s going on… I’m just beyond grateful.”
Not Just Sad Songs — Something Bigger
Yes, ADMT writes heartbreakers. But behind it all is a bigger mission: real connection. He’s open about his mental health, his mistakes, his doubts, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s real. Because he knows what it feels like to carry stuff in silence and hopes his music can break that for someone else.
His openness about “Without You”, for example — written after what he calls the “darkest place I’ve ever been”, reflects that same sense of duty to speak out, especially for young men who aren’t always told they’re allowed to feel anything at all.
“Some people are only meant for a chapter, a page, even a line,” he says. “That’s what Come Along is about — wishing they could’ve stayed for the whole book.”
Final Word: Come for the Voice, Stay for the Truth
Come Along might be ADMT’s first release with BMG, but it’s built on everything he’s already proven — that vulnerability sells out venues, that honesty makes better songs, and that you don’t need polish to leave a mark.
If you’re into music that makes you feel seen, that sounds like it was written in the notes app at 1AM but sung from a festival stage, this one’s worth a listen. And honestly? It might be the start of something huge.
