NEARLY a year on from the release of her stunning debut album ‘All I Have Now’, Paisley singer-songwriter Linzi Clark has shared a new single ‘Without You’.
The song will appear as a bonus track on the re-release of the album, which is making its vinyl debut via Olive Grove Records. You can order the album on vinyl here, or you can also pick one up at the official vinyl launch on 5th November at Old Hairdressers in Glasgow.
Picking up where ‘All I Have Now’ left off, ‘Without You’ is described as the sister track to ‘With You’ – the deeply moving centrepiece of that album. So, while ‘With You’ captured the all-consuming feeling of falling in love – the highs, the lows, the complexities, the fears and vulnerabilities – ‘Without You’ finds Linzi in the aftermath, grounded in melancholy and reflection.
All the hallmarks of her classic homespun sound are there – heart-rending strings, subtle rhythms, and those personal lyrics – while the intimacy is heightened by raw nature of the recording. Imbued with a sense of loss and grief for what has come before, there’s a feeling of moving on as she tentatively opens a new chapter.
She says “I wrote Without You shortly after I had finished writing and recording the album.Throughout the album process, I had a looming sense that this would be my last chance to dedicate to my writing in this way. My songs were finally given a home that I was comfortable with, so I feared losing that. I used my experience within a romantic space to compare these feelings”.
“The final mix is actually the first ever run through, with vocals and guitar recorded on my phone. I sent this over to my producer, Bovine, and he added in the subtle drumming and strings. We agreed that this should be the final take”.
