Alfie Templeman announces debut album ‘Mellow Moon’, shares new song ‘Broken’
It follows Templeman's debut mini-album 'Forever Isn’t Long Enough'
Alfie Templeman has shared details of his debut album, ‘Mellow Moon’, alongside releasing a new song called ‘Broken’.
‘Mellow Moon’ is out on May 27 via Chess Club/AWAL (pre-order here). It follows Templeman‘s debut mini-album ‘Forever Isn’t Long Enough’, which was released last May.
Sharing new track ‘Broken’ alongside the news, the singer-songwriter said: “It’s a bit of an anthem for people my age really, all the wobbles of being a teenager and figuring yourself out. It’s about realising that analysing yourself is an important part of growing up.
“I think people assume that I’m this easy, outgoing person but there’s actually a lot more layers to me and this record shows that,” he added. “Writing songs like ‘Broken’, ‘Take Some Time Away’ and ‘Mellow Moon’ were like therapy. It was me asking ‘What’s wrong with me?’ and ‘How am I going to get better?’ Just figuring things out in real time. I had therapy but there were still things unresolved in my mind. So I turned to music for the answers.”
