Jamie Webster releases his fourth album and says ‘Everybody’s Gotta Love’
Following his stellar rise from cult folk hero to an arena-filling indie songsmith with three Top Ten albums to his name, Jamie Webster celebrates his new era of reflection, sonic adventure and fresh dedication to his fans by releasing his fourth studio long-player, Running Round The Sun – OUT NOW on Modern Sky. Forever honest and permanently on point in tackling universal themes of hope, struggle and renewal, Webster marks the occasion with new visuals for Everybody’s Gotta Love, a song about personal struggle and embracing the bad times to be able to savour the good.
Never more at home than on stage, Webster reconnects with his loyal community of fans over 13 UK-wide dates, opening tomorrow night (Sat 5 September) at Southampton’s The 1865. Moving on to appear at landmark venues including London’s The Garage and Manchester’s Academy, limited remaining tickets can be booked via links at www.jamiewebstermusic.com
Announcing the completion of his new album back in spring, coinciding with the release of Just Begun, a single that spoke volumes about the artist’s defiance in the face of music industry headwinds, Webster opened the door to new body of work, riven with advance lyrical depth and an ever-broadening sonic palette. Recorded with care at Rockfield Studios, Webster’s summer singles, Small Town Life, Turning Point and the recent release of Ode To Me And You confirmed to listeners that the singer-songwriter had reached a watershed moment, a time to demonstrate his artistry, reflecting on his successes while refocusing on the person he really is, both within and beyond the world of music.
Released on multiple formats including standard and special edition vinyl, CD and digital, Running Round The Sun follows Webster’s most recent, UK Top Five album, 2024’s 10 For The People. His previous two albums, the UK Top Ten and Folk Chart No.1 debut album, We Get By quickly became a modern classic on release in 2020, while 2022’s Moments accompanied his rise to arena-filling status and established him as firm festival main stage favourite.
Returning to playing indoors after a summer of outdoor appearances, including Kendal Calling and Ottowa Blues Fest, Webster adds two further dates, in Sheffield and Bristol, to his intimate acoustic and meet and greet tour, running through November and December.
