Latest Record Project: Volume 1, set to arrive May 7th via Exile/BMG.
“Latest Record Project” is a cheeky bit of classic yet self-aware soul. It finds Morrison pairing vintage sonics Hammond organ, shuffling drums, backing vocalists cooing “sha-la-la” with the musings of an artist who has a back catalog packed with hits but hasn’t ceased making new music: “Have you got my latest songs I’m singing?/You got my latest songs I’m singing?/Not something from so long ago/Not something that you might want to know/But something I can relate to in the present.”
Van Morrison Announces New Double Album Latest Record Project: Volume 1 , Shares Title Track Wednesday, 03 March 2021
Van Morrison has announced a double album. Latest Record Project: Volume 1 features 28 songs and is due for release on May 7 through Exile/BMG. It follows up 2019 s Three Chords & The Truth and was written and recorded during the enforced COVID-19 lockdown, which allowed Morrison time to experiment with ideas on piano, guitar and saxophone.
The tracks Love Should Come With a Warning and Mistaken Identity were co-penned with Don Black. Morrison said: I m getting away from the perceived same songs, same albums all the time. This guy s done 500 songs, maybe more, so hello? Why do you keep promoting the same 10? I m trying to get out of the box.
Fresh off issuing a series of controversial singles last year protesting the COVID-19 lockdown in the U.K., Van Morrison has announced plans to releas.
