Former Girls frontman Christopher Owens has announced the details of his second solo album, entitled ‘A New Testament‘ and due for release on September 29th.
“It’s a testament to honest, earnest, simple songwriting – ‘three chords and the truth’ – songs inspired by the fundamentals of American music,” Owens explains.
“Gospel, country, R&B, picking the songs for this record was exciting enough for me, because they’re some of the ones that speak to me the most, of my memories, real life experiences, my battles, my victories. But hearing the record actually take form and come to life was even more exciting than I imagined. The new ground we worked towards – playing with Ed Efira on pedal steel for the first time – all of it was an amazing experience.”
The video for ‘Nothing More Than Everything To Me‘, directed by Max Minghella, can be seen on Live4ever at this link.
Owens has arranged a gig at the Islington Assembly Hall in London on November 19th – a show which will see him play the UK with his new seven-piece backing band for the first time.
