Fund My Beach Style is the fantastic, uplifting, groovy and cool alternative pop-edged new album from Cape Town artist Will Percs, and the new single 2nd Time Around is taken from it and now features on the A-List playlist. It will also be featured as a special Daily Powerplay at 9:30 AM Pacific USA time for the next month.

The single opens with a single guitar riff that feels instantly classic, then swings into a warm, jangly alternative sound reminiscent of Velvet Underground‘s rolling 60s and 70s guitar tones. A deep vocal enters, chilled yet powerful and slightly unhinged in the most original way, with a subtle nod to Lou Reed. The track stands strongly on its own, well-written with a pop sensibility blended with a raw, free-spirited hippy energy and a modern new-era vibe. It is serious yet deeply melodic and irresistible, driven by jangly guitars, subtle distant brass and string textures, and a human, organic band feel that sparks a sense of freedom in the listener.

Emerging artist Will Percs released his debut album Fund My Beach Style on Wednesday, July 17, 2025. The album offers a playful, sun-soaked collection of tracks with a carefree beach atmosphere. Rather than polished to perfection, the project embraces spontaneity and fun, which shines through in every song. Will is based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Speaking about the album, Will shared, “I was just having fun with music and this is what happened. Be great if someone hears it and enjoys it.”

The album is available now on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.
