Hope Is A Drug

Product Information

The new album will now be released on April 15th, and as with all touring cycles, naturally I want you to have the new album before my upcoming shows, so the tour has been pushed back to May, with the exception of both London shows remaining on April 18 and 19. Don't do what I did and drink two glasses of red wine before listening to the album, because it will have you in tears.

It’s fascinating how the human psychehas the endless capacity for optimism as a mechanism for overcoming adversity. With intimate ballads such as 'I See You' and uptempo pop songs such as 'Blameless' and 'All the Best', the album showcases an artist confidently pushing the boundaries of a remarkable 20 year career. He is the recipient of two BRIT Awards, has performed to sold out arenas and headlined festivals across the UK. He informed Virgin Radio that most of the tracks were written on the piano, rather than his usual instrument, the guitar.A majority of the tracks were written on the piano, and he purposefully avoided the guitar in favour of a different instrument. It's fascinating how the human psyche has the endless capacity for optimism as a mechanism for overcoming adversity.

It’s fascinating how the human psyche has the endless capacity for optimism as a mechanism for overcoming adversity. Hot on the heels of a sold out show at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum, Charlie is delighted to announce a brand new solo album ‘Hope Is A Drug’. Commenting on the premise and overall message of the album, the Busted and Fightstar says: “Everyone has been touched by the feeling of hope.

In an exclusive interview with NME, he revealed that he "started writing it in 2019" and wanted to be "more stripped-back and showed my more vulnerable side". As people around the world continue to navigate their way through the complexities of everyday life post the darkness of 2020 and 2021, Charlie Simpson provides fans with an optimistic ray of light today (April 22nd) in the form of his fourth studio album, ‘Hope Is A Drug’. Hope Is a Drug is preceded by the singles “I See You,” “Blameless,” “One of Us,” and “All the Best”.I have found the words to be more direct than on his other albums, easier to connect with and find a message in that means something to yourself, as well as to Charlie.
