Check out Sufjan Stevens’ first collection of solo music since 2020 on New Music Friday.
Sufjan Stevens has released his new album Javelin today.
Whilst Stevens self-produced and played every instrument, guest vocalists adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen and Megan Lui were all invited on to the recent single Will Anybody Ever Love Me?, brown describing Stevens as an, ‘impossibly brave and gifted writer’.
Hannah Cohen expanded on that theme by describing being in the studio with the songwriter as like, ‘watching an alchemist at work’, and Megan Lui concluded:
Will Anybody Ever Love Me? felt like a glimpse into Sufjan’s past records but spins into an epic collage of voices and instruments. His vision of melody and composition are astonishing and working with him and Hannah in the room was pure joy.
