RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE ‘NEVER’ 

MARCH & APRIL UK TOUR ON SALE NOW

NEW ALBUM ‘LOVE IS A BASIC NEED’

RELEASED ON 2ND MARCH 

Embrace have released the video for their new single Never, which follows recent releases The Finish Line and Wake Up Call, all taken from their forthcoming new album LOVE IS A BASIC NEED released on 2nd March 2018 through Cooking Vinyl.

Available as an instant grat track with pre-orders of the album, Never is a future classic for Embrace. With a duet between Danny McNamara and Kerri Watt, which they debuted together in front of over 70,000 people at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium during their shows with Coldplay in 2017, it is a love song with a dark twist that builds to a euphoric and heartfelt chorus. The video is an epic live performance that further showcases the powerful track. Danny says;

“It’s one of my favourite lyrics. We always heard it as a natural duet between two people who have very different takes on the same fraught situation – fighting for a toxic relationship and never giving up because they can’t imagine being with anyone else. It sounds like a love song but “I will never be the one who backs out” in this context almost feels like a threat. When Kerri agreed to sing on it we thought we’d really caught something.”

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 ballads The Finish Line and All That RemainsLOVE 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 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.”
