Bruno Major announces his new album Columbo

Columbo is Major’s highly-anticipated follow up to 2020’s To Let a Good Thing Die’.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, Bruno was holed up at his parents’ house in Northampton, where he first faced a blank slate, followed quickly by personal crisis. When restrictions lifted, he hotfooted to Los Angeles and hired a vintage ivory white 1978 Mercedes 380SL – he named it Columbo. It was on one fateful day during LA’s golden hour that his car came to its own abrupt end, plowing into another vehicle. It was there that the melancholic melody for ‘Columbo’, the album’s wistful title track, emerged, and so the story goes.

The single's accompanying visualiser plays into the nostalgia evoked by the star of the music video – the 1978 Mercedes 380SL.

“Something I've managed to do with Columbo more than any other album is find a way of saying exactly what I want to say,” Major reveals. “The album investigates my personal relationships with people and other things. It is self-diagnosis on a grand scale.”

The latest single and album title track follows "We Were Never Really Friends" released earlier this month.

Marking a return to the stage after his 2020 tour was canceled due to COVID, Bruno Major will kick off an expansive headlining tour, making his way through major cities in Southeast Asia in August, before heading back to the United States. Over the next two months, he’ll tour the US before beginning the European leg of his ambitious journey. The tour will conclude on 23 November in his hometown of London, at Kentish Town Forum.
