Orlando Weeks previews debut solo album with fourth single "Blame or Love or Nothing"
Orlando Weeks has released new track "Blame or Love or Nothing", a final preview of his forthcoming solo album A Quickening before it's released tomorrow (12 June).
"Blame or Love or Nothing" lands after earlier singles "Milk Breath", "Blood Sugar" and "Safe In Sound".
A Quickening will be Weeks' first new material since releasing The Gritterman score in 2017.
He writes on Twitter of the LP, "I started to make music specifically for this record in early 2018. My partner and I were expecting a baby in the summer of that year and the focus of my work became trying to document that time. That period felt so all-encompassing and yet, at the same time, fleeting and hard to grasp. I found that writing was a way to anchor movements and cement thoughts and feelings that we were sharing."
Speaking to Best Fit about his album, Weeks says, "This sound is certainly a broader representation of my musical tastes. I think that throughout the record I’m trying to use my voice in ways that I haven't before, the same goes for lyrics and melody. I wouldn’t want to lose a lot of the things that I’ve learnt but I’m trying to be braver with the way that I approach certain things."
