WATCH: WAKE UP CALL
Embrace have announced a brand new track Wake Up Call, which follows recent release The Finish Line, both taken from their forthcoming new album LOVE IS A BASIC NEED released on 9th March 2018 through Cooking Vinyl.
Available as an instant grat download with pre-orders of the new album, Wake Up Call is an anthemic and powerful song opening with impactful strings, keys and guitars before launching into emotive and heartfelt vocals. The video shows a grittily shot performance filmed on the band’s recent intimate tour. The album can be pre-ordered from the Official Embrace Store, iTunes or Amazon https://embrace.lnk.to/liabn.
Danny says;
“Wake Up Call is about realising you’re in a toxic relationship and finding the strength to move on. It’s hard leaving someone who’s come to feel like a part of you. Settling down is ok but life’s too short to settle for. It’s got one of my favourite lyrics from the whole album in it – ‘the summers not over, its only begun, but it feels like October, now you’re not around’”
20 years into their recording career Embrace are making an epic and emphatic return with their seventh studio album. With three #1 albums, six Top 10 singles, sold out arena shows and over two million album sales behind them, Embrace returned to the music scene three years ago with their Top 5 self-titled album Embrace.
Already being hailed as a return to “classic” Embrace, new album LOVE IS A BASIC NEED was recorded in the first half of 2017 at the band’s own Magnetic North Studio, produced by Richard McNamara.
With tracks such as the emotive string-laden ballad All That Remains and the powerful Never, LOVE IS A BASIC NEED sees Embrace return to the classic sound that first made us fall in love with them. The album’s overriding theme is one surrounding love and Danny McNamara says;
“Most people remember to eat, breathe and drink, but too many of us forget about love until it’s too late. The album is about the realisation that without food or water or shelter you die, but the same is also true of love. We set out to make an album where every song on it would stand up against the best songs we’ve ever written, and I’m pretty confident we’ve done just that.”
A trailer for the album is also available to watch now and exclusive signed items and special bundles are also available through the Official Embrace Store HERE – https://embrace.lnk.to/liabn.
