Kyle Falconer on CD CD from Kyle Falconer is available for home delivery with Vinyl Records London, only £34 +P&P Kyle Falconer has always been a songwriter who has been inspired by a female muse. From his charttopping success with The View through to his acclaimed solo career, his storytelling songs have explored the good times of love and lust the bad times of regret and heartache and stories of some of the largerthanlife characters who have stepped into his life, alongside some playful fictional narratives. Recently crowned with the King Tuts Songwriting Award at the Scottish Music Awards, Kyle brings the best of those songs together with The One I Love the Most which will be released on February 7th ahead of Valentines Day. The album is a collection of songs from his vast back catalogue, all of which are named after women and have been newly reworked in acoustic form. Named after a lyric taken from The View fan favourite 5 Rebeccas, The One I Love The Most features songs spanning almost two decades from the unrequited love of Claudia from the bands 1 debut album Hats Off To The Buskers through to the lovelorn Dixie the original of which featured on last years Top 10 return Exorcism of Youth. Along the way, the album also reinvents highlights from his two solo albums No Thank You and No Love Songs For Laura, which often tackled more complicated themes Laura shares regrets for his past behaviour and the impact it had on his thenpartner and nowwife Laura Wilde, to the issues of gender identity addressed in Kelly. A far lighter moment comes with Madonna, a playful, celebheavy imagining of what the ideal afterlife might be like, while Manchester rapper PROSE adds his razorsharp rhymes to an otherwise strippedback Lucy. The albums lead single and brand new track Angelina is an instant highlight. Dramatic percussion and sweeping string arrangements creates an intense cinematic atmosphere to match a story of a relationship which has been ruined by conflicting perceptions on what the truth really is. Kyle says, The One I Love The Most came from an idea I had after getting my own studio in Spain. I thought about all the girls039 names I had written about and thought it would be a great romantic idea to put them all in one place and release the record for Valentines Day. I wanted to show the songs as they were without all the production and we captured the first essence of them. Its great to see the different feelings along the album and my ups and downs, from the childlike writing of Claudia to the more in depth idea of Kelly as I have seen and heard more of the world. The One I Love the Most was recorded at Kyles La Sierra Casa retreat near Alicante in Spain, with Kyle producing the project himself and performing all vocals and instruments except for contributions from Drew Palmer and Neeve Zahra. A scenic, escapist and intimate hub for creativity, La Sierra Casa hosts regular songwriting camps led by Kyle as well as a recording studio designed to achieve peak sound quality, workflow and productivity.
