Lemar returns with “Future Love”!
Soul-Funk-Pop
It’s been a good few years since British singer Lemar last made some noise, but happily he’s back and with a kicking new single, “Future Love”, which comes from a brand new album, his first for eight years!
The three-time MOBO Award and two-time BRIT Award winner is one of the most successful male British solo artists of the last two decades landing three multi Platinum certified albums with his first three releases.
“Future Love” is an infectious 80’s Funk-inspired anthem. The new track comes with the announcement of Lemar’s forthcoming seventh studio album, his first new material in eight years, “Page In My Heart”, due for release on 24th March.
Working again with longtime writing partners Craig Hardy (who co-wrote Lemar’s smash hit debut single “Dance (With U)” and Mathias Andermo, Lemar set out to write music that was true to himself and as close to what he wanted as possible. Releasing the album on his own label allowed Lemar to take the reins fully as an independent artist, doing things his way.
Lyrically, the album chronicles Lemar’s emotional journey over the last few years – the ups and the downs. “I’ve Been” was written at a particularly low point and sees him reflecting about his journey in the music industry. Though he may not have been releasing music, Lemar has been far from idle, producing for other artists, gaining credibility as an actor, making a string of TV appearances including Little Darlings which aired on Sky Cinema in 2022, and hosting his own podcast, The Lemar Show.
“Page In My Heart” is a record that’s about and for the fans. Drawing from conversations he has had over the years with a few of his longtime supporters about their lives and relationships, Lemar found that some of those stories landed in the new songs. Lemar hopes that people will be able to relate to his lyrics and make a connection, whatever they’re going through.
