New York, NY (Top40 Charts) UK singer/songwriter Allman Brown announced today the release of his anticipated sophomore album Darling, It'll Be Alright. Set to release on May 10th, Darling, It'll Be Alright features an exciting evolution for the London-based artist who expands upon his sonic palette while continuing to maintain his raw sensibility and aching melodic mastery. Allman unveiled the first taste of the upcoming album with the lead single "Shapes In The Sun" which Glide Magazine called "a poignant song that showcases Brown's ability to craft sweeping, powerful pop music."
"'Shapes In The Sun' is a touchstone song for the album," stated Allman. "It is sonically more ambitious than anything I've ever done and is an effort on my part to shift my songwriting perspective from the personal to the universal. The album is me trying to reach beyond my own emotions and tap into something bigger (with a few exceptions) and 'Shapes In The Sun' was the first step on that path. I wanted to try and write about the cosmos basically and this is what came out."
Darling, It'll Be Alright follows Allman's 2017 acclaimed debut 1000 Years which featured contributions from artists such as Liz Lawrence,
Robyn Sherwell, and Lowell. It earned him a big following on Spotify garnering over 83 million streams and more than 1.3 million monthly listeners. Indie Shuffle raved "Allman Brown possesses the kind of vocal prowess that transitions effortlessly from gently rasping to raw and powerful," while
Clash Magazine stated "There's a sensitivity to Allman Brown's work that feels all too rare." Allman's music has been featured in numerous hit TV shows including Parenthood, The Good Doctor, Criminal Minds, Suits, Beauty and the Beast, Reign, and Finding Carter.
Allman also announced today a run of US show dates this May. The tour will kick off in Nashville on May 2 followed by performances in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles among others. For more info or to purchase tickets, visit www.allmanbrown.com/#tour
