Conor Albert Announces New Album “Collage 2”, Shares New Song “Sunflower”
London-based music producer Conor Albert announced his mini-album “Collage 2” would be released on April 29, 2022 via Young Poet (UK & ROW) and Ninja Tune (North America).
The album comprises 8-track, featuring collaborations with Mac Ayres, ELSAS, James Smith, Maya Delilah, Lily Agnès, Quinn Oulton and Max Pope.
Conor Albert said of the album, “Across 'Collage 2' there's a greater focus on collaboration, even more so than on Collage 1. I've enlisted the help of many of the new friends I've made since my first EP to make the best possible project I can. I'm super excited.”
From the album, he released a new song “Sunflower” on March 18, 2022.
He teamed up with British singer-songwriter Max Pope on the track. It was written by Conor Albert and Max Pope.- Conor Albert said, “Last year my label was asking me to start doing live streams on Twitch, which is something I'd always wanted to do. The way I learned production myself was from watching other Twitch streamers, so I figured this would be a great way to share my process. Sunflower is the product of the first ever livestream I did, where I put on a 1 hour timer and made a song from scratch with Max. Because the song was made under a time pressure, everything was completely spur of the moment and instinctive, which is often the best way to write music in my experience! After that initial Twitch stream we had one more session on it to tweak a few little things but the vast majority of it was done in that one hour. I'm planning on posting the full stream to YouTube so people can watch the whole process, so stay tuned for that!”
Max Pope said, “It was so great working with Conor - the dude plays so many instruments so I was really able to focus on singing and putting melodies together. It all came together really naturally and in such a short space of time.” - source : Apple Music
