With six lead singers, an orchestra and more, ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ from Encanto was always going to be an epic production challenge and then lockdown happened.

Fused with jangly electric guitar lines, the uplifting ‘All You Ever Wanted’ finds Graham taking on a classic rock-influenced sound as he reminisces about the places he grew up in. The song’s official video captures the artist’s journey through various model locations.
“I’d felt sad looking around Brighton and London where I grew up… remembering all those cool places that aren’t there anymore,” Graham explained of the inspiration behind the song.
‘Life By Misadventure’ was largely produced by Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette) at his studio near Nashville. Recorded “like a live album”, the project contains contributions from drummer Daru Jones (who worked on Jack White‘s ‘Lazaretto’) and guitarist Wendy Melvoin (Prince‘s The Revolution).

Rag n Bone Man returns three years after his groundbreaking, award winning debut, Human , with a renewed sense of purpose, on a sparkling new album, full of heart and soul. Life By Misadventure is an incredible collection of emotional songs to touch us when we need it most.
First single All You Ever Wanted is propelled by choppy rhythm guitars and a restlessness we’re all currently feeling – watch the video here - nbm.lnk.to/AllYouEverWanted/youtube. I d felt sad looking around Brighton and London where I grew up.remembering all those cool places that aren t there anymore, Rory Graham, aka Rag n Bone Man, says.
If the return of Rag’n’Bone Man feels slightly overdue, let’s remember what he’s coming back from. His debut album, 2017’s Human, enjoyed multi-platinum success and is the fastest-selling debut album by a male artist in over a decade, while its title track was in the Top 10 biggest singles that year. It’s the kind of rare, lightning-in-a-bottle success that most new artists would dream of - and a hard act to follow by anyone’s standards.
That said, the first thing that hits on his new single All You Ever Wanted – out this Friday (January 29) and the lead track from his forthcoming album Life By Misadventure – is how at ease and reenergized he sounds. In fact, All You Ever Wanted is very much of the moment, touching on the frustrations we’re all currently feeling.
