The View frontman Kyle Falconer has announced plans for a new acoustic album ‘The One I Love The Most’.
The record, which is out on February 7, features acoustic versions of his songs from The View and his solo LPs, inspired by women. It is available to pre-order here.
It also features brand new track, ‘Angelina’, which you can listen to below.
Of the album, Falconer said: “‘The One I Love The Most’ came from an idea I had after getting my own studio in Spain. I thought about all the girls’ names I had written about and thought it would be a great romantic idea to put them all in one place and release the record for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to show the songs as they were without all the production and we captured the first essence of them.
“It’s great to see the different feelings along the album and my ups and downs, from the childlike writing of ‘Claudia’ to the more in depth idea of ‘Kelly’ as I have seen and heard more of the world.”
It features songs from The View’s debut album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’ right up to their 2023 LP ‘Exorcism Of Youth’.
It was recorded at Falconer’s La Sierra Casa retreat near Alicante in Spain, with the singer-songwriter producing the project himself and performing all vocals and instruments except for contributions from Drew Palmer and Neeve Zahra.
The full tracklisting for ‘The One I Love The Most’ is as follows:
1. ‘Dixie’
2. ‘Rebecca’
3. ‘Gem’
4. ‘Blondie’
5. ‘Lilly Anne’
6. ‘Penny’
7. ‘Laura’
8. ‘Lucy’ featuring PROSE
9. ‘Claudia’
10. ‘Kelly’
11. ‘Madonna’
12. ‘Angelina’
It comes after Falconer and Carl Barât of The Libertines recently held a new “songwriting getaway” course in his La Sierra Casa retreat earlier this year.
The View also recently supported Liam Gallagher on his ‘Definitely Maybe Tour’ earlier this year ahead of Oasis’ reunion.
