Henry Green shares new album opener "All"

10 June 2020, 16:11 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Henry Green is back with "All", the opening track from his new album Half Light.

"All" is the fourth single to be lifted from Half Light, after previous singles "Fabric", "Tide" and "Realign".

Green says of his latest outing, ""All" was the first track I finished for the album. I’d had a lot of rough sketches and lyrical fragments, but nothing concrete. The lyric "Call all the words out of me" was almost written in desperation, a strange cry for some sort of release. The original production ideas for the track were actually floating around a couple of years ago, and it was sort of an ongoing project, where I’d add, take away and edit layers every week to try and create an image of how it’d feel as a structured track. Once I finally started to layer those vocal ideas in, the track formed really quickly and I abandoned it. I didn’t want to keep reinterpreting and reediting something that had finally found a semi-finished form. "All", and its nonchalant nature, ended up being the catalyst for the rest of the record."

Half Light will follow on from Green's 2018 debut album Shift.

On his forthcoming LP, the musician explains, "A lot of the songs are about that struggle to express. Coming into the record I wanted to make something that was a separation from myself, and didn't feel like such a window into my feelings. But because of my feelings throughout the process I think these are the most honest songs I've ever written."

"All" is out now. Henry Green's Half Light LP lands 3 July via Akira Records, and is available to pre-order now.
