Last updated 17th Jun 2024
Following his 2021 Number 1 album ‘Life By Misadventure', Rory Graham, better known as Rag'n'Bone Man, has announced he will be releasing a new album later this year.
The singer, who released 'Lovers In A Past Life' with Calvin Harris earlier this year, took to Instagram to share a video where he talks about going into the writing process with a "positive energy", for the album.
In the video he goes on to say: "It feels sunny and positive, and that was on purpose I just wanted the whole record, lyrically, musically, and visually to feel warm and sunny."
The 'Giant' singer will release his new music on 18th October, just a month before he sets off on a UK tour, announced on the same day as his album.
Speaking about his upcoming album, Rag'n'Bone Man explained: "It’s a representation of how I feel in this moment, at this time in my life – it represents joy, love and happiness.
"You’ve got to take people on a bit of a journey – It’s basically real life. Songwriting is always an extension of my emotions."
The singer's current song is the title track of his album, and at the time of the song's release, Rag'n'Bone Man explained the inspiration behind the song. He said: "I wrote this after losing someone close.
"Now, having to explain something like that to your child is a bit weird. I’ve never been involved with religion, but the question you get asked is: where do people go? And that’s what the song is about. It doesn’t really matter what people believe in, you can believe that they’ve gone to a better place."
What is Rag'n'Bone Man's third album called?
His upcoming album is called 'What Do You Believe In?'.
When will 'What Do You Believe In?' be released?
