Rag'n'Bone Man shares new single 'Crossfire', out April 30th
Three years after his groundbreaking, award-winning debut, ‘Human’, Rag’n’Bone Man prepares to release his brand new album ‘Life By Misadventure’ - out May 7th on Columbia.
His new music has been embraced across media with the Sunday Times already declaring the record as “one of the albums of the year” and MOJO’s 4 star review noting “blossoming” songwriting. The album’s two stellar singles ‘All You Ever Wanted’, and ‘Anywhere Away From Here’ (with US superstar P!nk), have also been mainstays on the Radio 1 & Radio 2 playlists, and he’s turned in all-star TV performances on Comic Relief, Later...with Jools Holland and Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
Rag’n’Bone Man now returns to share the fourth and final track ‘Crossfire’ before the release of his new album ‘Life By Misadventure’. Along with the new offering, he has also shared a stunning new live video of the song. Watch the live video HERE
Throughout this new album campaign, Rag’n’Bone Man has been keen to show off his progression over the last few years, and ‘Crossfire’ is the perfect example of where his sound has landed. Bringing back his strong and powerful soul roots, his latest single is a bold and soaring statement of what we can expect when the new collection arrives.
Speaking about the new offering, he said, “’Crossfire’ as a concept came to me in a really mad dream. I wrote it with Ben JC (my keys player and co-writer for the album) and Bill (my amazing bass player) and I’m so excited to play this one live”
His 2017 landmark debut ‘Human’ was a phenomenal success; a 4x platinum album which shot to #1 week of release in the UK, became the fastest-selling album by a male artist for the entire decade and earned him BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards.
If that’s a hard act to follow, Rag‘n’Bone Man tore up the rulebook and went to Nashville to write and record what would become ‘Life By Misadventure’, returning to the UK just before the pandemic first erupted. While a dose of heavy blues and soul lives within some of these new tunes, the majority of this new album finds Rag‘n’Bone Man taking a huge step forward as an artist, a songwriter, and a singer capable of showcasing tremendous warmth and real emotion with every breath.
‘Life By Misadventure’ is the perfect tonic for these times. An album of depth and soul, about growing up and moving forward. Enjoy the trip.
