Barry Can't Swim The Person You’d Like To Be

Barry Can’t Swim returns with “The Person You’d Like To Be”. The new single, out now on Ninja Tune, marks the Edinburgh born artist's first new music in 2025 and the start of a bigger project to come. Opening vocals 'there is nothing permanent, except change’ cut in over an unexpected rhythm, heavily inspired by the formative electronic music Barry grew up listening to. “The Person You’d Like To Be” signals a more personal and ambiguous approach, further showcasing Barry’s skills as an ever-evolving producer. 

“The Person You’d Like To Be” arrives after a momentous 18 months for Barry who has become widely recognised as one of the most exciting electronic artists in the world.

“The Person You’d Like To Be” is out now on Ninja Tune.
