Description
Never stuck for inspiration, people-powered and newly electrified singer-songwriter, Jamie Webster watched the world get weird and channelled every wicked turn into a new, 10-track album, Moments, set for release on Fri 28 January 2022. Following last monthâs teasing single, Days Unknown, Webster reveals the follow up to last yearâs number six-charting debut with new, rallying-cry single, Going Out.
Melding together two short stories, one of Paul and the other Annabella, Websterâs renowned people-watching prowess, setting vivid pen pictures of neighbours and strangers in his native Liverpool to music, switches to pin-sharp short fiction for Going Out. Cutting across the strange absence of empathy for Britainâs young, Webster uses his characters to spell out the loss, frustration and rebellion of the twenty-somethings stopped in their tracks by recent circumstance and a tangle of incomprehensible rules.
Making observations before conclusions, the song keeps the media in Websterâs crosshairs (ââŚcutting the feed to the head news stationâ), but avoids barbed protest. Instead of using the power of guitar and pen to campaign, Webster the storyteller sings in the voice of two young people who are âtired of hearing that freedom comes with costâ to empathise with those whose imprisoned desires to love, work and party couldnât be caged much longer.
Going Out was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios in the company of producer, Dave Eringa, during album sessions in early 2021. Affecting a new, multi-instrumental stage of âgoing electricâ like major influence, Bob Dylan, what lies in store on Moments â following 2020âs We Get By â is Websterâs lyrical gift sealed in the bold embrace of his bandâs musicianship, from bluesy jams to fuzzed up anthems. Taking a distinct view from Covid-hit Britain, watching the wave hit and assessing the aftermath, the artist boldly claims that out of all the lockdown albums, this could be THE lockdown album.
