Bullion announces new album featuring Carly Rae Jepsen and Charlotte Adigéry collaborations
Avant-pop auteur and producer/songwriter Bullion has announced his new studio album Affection, along with the track, "Rare", featuring vocals from previous collaborator, Carly Rae Jepsen.
Affection steps into a more emotionally-present, often playful space, with collaborators Carly Rae Jepsen and Charlotte Adigéry gracing songs that prioritise feeling over fixed meaning.
The new single, "Rare" emerged during sessions for Jepsen’s recent album in Toronto, as she explains: "I’ve been a fan of Bullion from the first listen. His music just sends me some place good every time. We started writing together over zoom sessions in lock down and then met in real life in Toronto, London and LA. When I first reached out to him, I said “it would be fun to see how your world of music and mine could play together” and it’s been one of the coolest discoveries. To be featured on Rare is such a sweet start to 2024. And as a fan still, I’m really looking forward to this whole album”.
Nathan Jenkins – AKA Bullion – is an enduring cult figure of electronic music; a producer and songwriter quietly to be found connecting artists, genre and UK subculture. His credits range from today's collaborator Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Howard, Nilüfer Yanya and Avalon Emerson, as well as Westerman and Joviale.
