A couple of months ago I spent the morning in an old community club in South London with a keyboard, drum machine, guitar, some old shoes and a few silver balloons. I played some songs from my new album Sadness Sets Me Free for the first time in this ‘out of town’ club singer form. It sounded like this. Watch the videos on YouTube. The fully orchestrated album is out in January.

‘BUT LISTEN, I NEED TO COMMUNICATE THAT THERES SOME NEW SONGS OUT TODAY’

Yes it’s true - 2 songs from my new soundtrack album for the Almond and the Seahorse have ‘dropped’ this morning- Layer Upon Layer is a song I wrote for the opening titles of the film (The Almond & the Seahorse) - I wrote it to a specific tempo that goes with Rebel Wilson’s bike ride through Liverpool and her ferry journey to the Wirral - so it’s something I’d have never written in any other context - and a great excuse to record a shiny 3 minute power-pop song. I recorded most of it with Kris Jenkins - some overdubs with Ali Chant and it was mixed by Chris Shaw. 

The song Orea is a collaboration with French producer Victor Le Masne recorded in Paris pre pandemic - we spent a day recording for the fun of it and came up with 
this track. I love his solo records and also the music he’s recorded with Gaspard Augé and Chilly Gonzales to name a few. 

There’s a load of tunes from the film already on streaming services by now - it’s a double album so plenty more to come. It’s out Feb 24th 2023. The film screened in US cinemas late last year. Comes with a poster by Akiko Stehrenberger. 

Thanks to Ryan Eddleston for the photo
