ALBERT HAMMOND’s “BODY OF WORK” Album Now Available Alongside His Latest Single “LOOKING BACK

Albert Hammond has just released his latest album, “Body of Work”, marking his return to new music after almost two decades. This album has been praised by critics as his most thoughtful work to date, which is quite an achievement for the mastermind behind hits like “The Air That I Breathe”, “I Don’t Wanna Lose You”, and “It Never Rains in Southern California”.

Collaborating once again with his longtime songwriting partner John Bettis, Albert has created a masterpiece that showcases their creative chemistry. The track “Looking Back” stands out as a testament to their bond, capturing the essence of their collaborative process.

Recorded at the renowned Hansa Studios in Berlin during a tumultuous period in Albert’s life and against the backdrop of a global pandemic, “Looking Back” exudes a timeless quality. It blends modern and retro elements, offering a nostalgic yet forward-looking vibe.

Throughout the creative process, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mathias Roska played a pivotal role. His idea of stripping down the music to its core essence by having Albert perform the songs with just a microphone allowed for a deeper connection to the material.

Spanning from the energetic “Don’t Bother Me Babe” to the serene and introspective “Goodbye LA”, “Body of Work” serves as a musical journey through Albert’s extraordinary life. Touching on folk, alt-country, pop, and ballad influences, this album showcases the depth and breadth of his artistry.

As Albert reflects on the completion of “Body of Work”, he expresses gratitude for the experience and the opportunity to share his music with the world. Through this album, he aims to bring light and inspiration to listeners in a time of darkness.

Albert Hammond’s message is clear: “The world is in darkness because we fail to shine.” With “Body of Work”, he seeks to illuminate the world with his timeless artistry and heartfelt music.
