UK Songwriter Johnny Lloyd (of Tribes) Releases New Single From Forthcoming Solo Album Out May 3

Following a string of warmly received singles including "Rich And Poor," "Next Episode Starts in 15 Seconds," and "I Need Help," each of which have offered their own revelations, "I'll Be Me" shares another deeply personal chapter of the path has that has paved the way to his upcoming LP release. As Johnny says:

"''I'll Be Me' is a song about learning to love yourself. It's about accepting what's passed and what hasn't happened in your life and looking to the future. It was a direct reaction to becoming a Dad."

With a number of seismic changes occurring in Johnny's life these past few years, his upcoming album, Next Episode Starts In 15 Seconds, is very much an open diary of personal vignettes for the listener. Melancholic, pared-back and moving, the new album is a bold departure from his roots as frontman of indie-rock outfit Tribes and sees him take a leap of faith into lush and dreamy pastures new. Recorded in a 10 ft. square bunker in north London in late 2018 with producerNathan Coen, Next Episode... was further mastered at the famous Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright. Each song that appears on the album was recorded in three takes or less, with the results a raw, pure and endearing listen through and through. Special guest appearances also includeFrank Turner, Hugo White (The Maccabees) and Adam Prendergast of Harry Styles' band. For many a long time coming, the album will be released on Friday, May 3 via the Xtra Mile Recordings label.

Johnny Lloyd will be making the following U.S. appearances next month.
