Conor Albert & James Smith today release new single "Crescent Moon" - the latest taste of Conor Albert's upcoming project 'Collage 2’, out Spring 2022 via Young Poet (UK & ROW) and Ninja Tune (North America).

The new single follows Conor's momentous sold-out headline show at London's Jazz Cafe in June, and arrives ahead of his recently announced appearance at The Great Escape Festival's First Fifty showcase on 17th November at The Hackney Social.

Written alongside and featuring London singer/songwriter James Smith, new single "Crescent Moon" represents one of Conor Albert's most soulful moments to date. A stunning amalgamation of contrasting songwriting styles, the track brings together delicate piano stabs, rubbery bass lines, bluesy, groove-laden percussion and James Smith's magisterial vocal.

Speaking on the lyrics, Conor said: "James came in with the concept of being that boy that sits on the crescent moon in the DreamWorks intro, throwing a fishing line through the clouds and reeling in the love of your life. James is a master lyricist in my opinion."

A wonderfully nostalgic soul-pop song with a heart of gold, the instrumentation on "Crescent Moon" was recorded live throughout, effortlessly fusing James and Conor's two respective genre landscapes.
