The great Richard Hawley will release his ninth studio album, In This City They Call You Love, on May 31 via BMG.
“I’ve made three albums where I had the title before I’d even begun to record, where I had an agenda,” Hawley says. “One was Truelove’s Gutter. Another was Standing At The Sky’s Edge when I wanted to turn everything up and make the music a lot more aggressive, and then this one.” Hawley adds he wanted this one “to be multi-coloured in a way…focusing on the voice and what voices can do together. I deliberately only played a handful of guitar solos to keep it focused on voices, the song and space.”
The latest single from the album is “Prism in Jeans” that definitely has Hawley’s baritone front-and-center. Few do classic ballads like this so well and you can listen to that and two other songs off the album below as well.
