Description
Liam Gallagher's eagerly anticipated debut album âAs You Wereâ will be released on October 6th on Warner Bros. Records.
After igniting the writing process with the heavy duty soul-rock of âBoldâ, âAs You Wereâ was recorded in two locations. Greg Kurstin performed all of the instruments on the four songs that he produced (âWall Of Glassâ, âPaper Crownâ, âCome Back To Meâ and the psychedelic whoosh of âIt Doesnât Have To Be That Wayâ), while Dan Grech-Marguerat produced the remainder of the album at Snap! Studios in London.
The result is exactly what you would have hoped a Liam Gallagher solo album would sound like: the passion for the classic 60s/70s influence that heâs always had has been updated for the here and now.
âI didnât want to be reinventing anything or going off on a space jazz odyssey,â says Liam. âItâs the Lennon âCold Turkeyâ vibe, The Stones, the classics. But done my way, now.â
One of the most striking aspects of âAs You Wereâ is that all the songs have a purpose. Thereâs no flab, nothing to cut. They all feel directed at something or someone, setting the record straight or getting his side of the story over, be that the swinging, Bo Diddley-like âGreedy Soulâ, which incinerates someone whoâs the âungrateful deadâ or the mega-ballad âFor What Itâs Worthâ which Liam wrote with Simon Aldred of Cherry Ghost and serves up the albumâs biggest chorus.
The albumâs cover features an iconic new portrait of Liam which was taken by the influential photographer, fashion designer and creative director Hedi Slimane.
