Albert Gold - Want Me (Single)
It has been noted previously that ALBERT GOLD must surely qualify as the most heartbroken man in the whole of Hackney. Over the past few years a stream of supple tunes of various soul pop hues has proven him to be a vivacious fresh songwriting talent backed by an extraordinary vocal range and a litany of crumpled relationships.
"'Want Me' was the second song I made for the new 'PATTERNS' project," explains Albert. "The song came quite fast actually - it was the first session I did with producers Banjimak, Lvcebrown and Galyam. I wanted to write a empowered song for me and everyone: last year was quite a crazy one after losing so many people, some horrible breakups and just losing normality, and it was amazing to see everyone coming together, especially my black queer friends. I wanted to celebrate all of that and us being back together.”
As you may have guessed, Albert is not a man to take sitting in a highrise at the end of the Lea Bridge Road in the middle of a global pandemic lying down. Last summer he released the excellent solo 'MOOD' EP, and later in 2020 he launched the effervescently chilled CHILI PALMER with David Gledhill, the man behind the Souls We Are project. Barely last month CHILI PALMER released the 'I Love E9' album, featuring the radiant 'Cocktail Nights' single featuring Gia Ford. Indeed, the 'PATTERNS' EP track '1LastPhotograph' is culled from those CHILI PALMER sessions
Bolstered by previous live shows for Communion, Tipping Point, BMI / The Fix, London In Stereo, Sofar Sounds and Good Karma, and backed by airplay support from Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens at Radio 1 and BBC Introducing London, Albert Gold has performed at Red Bull Studios in South London and released the ‘London Calling’ single featuring covers of cockney classics by Coldplay, The Clash and Blur. He also features as vocalist on the multi-million-streamed ‘Trouble’ single by Dutch producer Bakermat.
