Singer/songwriter Tom McRae will release his new album, 'Bright Lights' on 14th June, to get a taste of the new material head to the ecard here which features a free download track and streams of the entire album.
McRae hints that the new album could be more positive than his last one, saying:
"This time I was spending more time in New York, just getting some distance from everything I'd done previously and letting the songs come out as they happened.
All the songs were written in a 5 month period at the start of last year. I wanted to write in a different way to usual, just to see if I could make something more upbeat, energetic and eclectic. For me every record has to be slightly different, even if it means leaving your comfort zone and trying something unfamiliar."
