In This City They Call You Love [LP]

Following the worldwide success of the award-winning musical "Standing At The Sky's Edge", which is based on his songs and was performed for six months in London's West End earlier this month, Richard Hawley has announced a new album.

The title of the album comes from the song 'People', which he wrote about his beloved Sheffield, the city's proud industrial past and the unwavering determination of its citizens.

"I've made three albums where I had the title before I'd even started recording, where I had a plan. One was 'Truelove's Gutter'. Another was 'Standing At The Sky's Edge', when I wanted to turn everything up and make the music a lot more aggressive, and then this one," Hawley explains. "I wanted it to be multi-colored in a way.... i focused on the voice and what voices can do together... i intentionally only played a handful of guitar solos to keep the focus on voices, the song and the space."
