Tim Minchin has shared a new single, I'll Take Lonely Tonight.
The track is the second — following Leaving LA — to be lifted from the Australian comedian and musical theatre composer's debut studio album, 'Apart Together', which is due out in November, though an exact release date has not yet been confirmed.
Discussing the emotive, piano-led song and it's accompanying video, Minchin said:
“When I started playing this tune on tour early last year, it became clear that it was really affecting people. I thought this temptation tug-of-war might be something experienced more by touring musos… but I kept getting people – men and women equally – telling me that it really hit home for them.
"The studio version is six and a half minutes long (!) and sonically fucking gorgeous, with Jak Housden’s haunting guitar and Dan Denholm’s epic production. Caro Constantine, who is a director and DOP I’d worked with before, came on board to help me make a film that reflects the dynamic of the tune and the push-and-pull of drunken temptation. I can’t wait for it to be released into the wild.
“This video is dedicated to the many people who have always wanted me to sing a song in a suit in a boat. It is the second single from my album, Apart Together, due out later this year. I recommend sticking your headphones in and turning it up. It gets epic.”
