Gabrielle Aplin has announced her fourth album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'Dear Happy' is called 'Phosphorescent' and will arrive on January 13 via Never Fade Records. It'll feature the recently shared single Call Me.
Marking a fresh, minimal approach for the singer-songwriter, the record was born out of the isolation and surreal situation Aplin, like so many of us, experienced throughout the COVID -19 lockdowns. She said:
"I was writing again for fun. I was purely expressing myself with no brief. No-one was telling me what to do, in fact I didn’t have to do anything. At the start there was no goal, but as the songs started emerging I could see that they were about things I’d never really processed until that time. I think a lot of people didn’t really stop until the pandemic forced them, and that was definitely the case for me. A lot of them were addressing things I’d put off until then. It really made me question who I was when everything was stripped away."
She added: "It felt like I was making an album for the first time. The recording process really felt just so natural. It was great for me because it made me really get to know myself as to who I am right now, considering so much has changed. I just want people to connect to it in whatever way possible. I hope they can get as much from listening to it as I got from making it."
Alongside the announcement, Aplin has unveiled a back-to-basics piano version of cut Call Me. Spin it below.
