Roger O’Donnell is back with new Jennifer Pague collaboration "The Haunt", which is the second single to be lifted from his forthcoming solo LP 2 Ravens.

"The Haunt" arrives after last month's lead single "An Old Train", which also featured Jennifer Pague.

O'Donnell says of the new track, ""The Haunt" is a song about being left and how you, if you could, would haunt the person who left you… and who wouldn’t want to do that? The song was influenced by a French folk story, The Peasant and the Wolf and when Jen wrote the lyrics it took a kind of dark turn which I was very happy about. So, the happy rural folk story is twisted in a tale of revenge…"

His upcoming 2 Ravens album will be O'Donnell's first LP since 2015's Love and Other Tragedies album with Julia Kent.

2 Ravens was recorded across five days at London's Air Edel studios with Alisa Liubarskaya, Miriam Wakeling, Aled Jones, Nadine Nagen, and Daniel Gea.

"The Haunt" is out now. Roger O’Donnell's 2 Ravens album arrives via 99X10 Records/Caroline International on 24 April, and is available to pre-order now.
