Alice Boman shares new cut "Soon"
Before her new album The Space Between arrives tomorrow (21 October), Alice Boman has treated fans to a final preview of the record titled "Soon".
"Soon" lands with a video filmed by Tom Millbourn Malmros, and is the fifth and final single to be lifted from The Space Between before its release tomorrow, following "Where To Put The Pain", Perfume Genius collaboration "Feels Like A Dream", "Maybe" and "Night And Day".
"This is one of the first songs that I wrote for this album and it’s also my favourite one," Boman says. "It’s about not keeping things inside, because eventually you will explode. I think we all need some kind of output or someone to talk to - somewhere to channel our thoughts or feelings. I remember clearly where and when it came to me and I still love that first voice memo of it."
She adds, "Then me, Patrik Berger and Nisse Törnquist played through the song one day in the studio - before even having decided the details of how and where to record the album - and we recorded it just to be able to look at the structure of the song. That session felt so special that we decided to use that recording for the album, with a few additions like a brass riff by Ben Babbitt. I really love how it turned out."
The Space Between will follow Boman's 2020 debut album Dream On, and saw Boman reunite with Dream On producer Patrik Berger (Robyn, Lana Del Rey) for the new record.
"Soon" is out now. Alice Boman's The Space Between album will arrive via Play It Again Sam tomorrow (21 October), and is available to pre-order now. She'll play The Lexington in London on 7 December. Tickets are on sale now from aliceboman.com.
