Halls, the solo project of Sam Howard, has announced his third album Infinite Loss, alongside revealing his first single in five years "The Gift".
"The Gift" is Howard's first single since his 2014 album Love To Give.
Speaking about the new single, Halls says, ""The Gift" is about the different feelings experienced after suffering a loss - the vulnerability and sadness from grief compared to the elation of feeling like you’ve worked through it. You move through those two states in waves, and the song structure reflects that."
Tracklist:
- ∞ Life
- Face to Face
- Summer Redemption Tape
- ∞ Loss
- Wait For You
- Mono no Aware
- ∞
- Hallelujah
- ∞ Love
- The Gift
- I Could Be The Best You Never Had
- Summer Prayer
- Baby
- ∞ Longing
- One Last Thing
"The Gift" is out now. Halls' Infinite Loss album arrives 18 November, and is available to pre-order now.
