NEW ALBUM DELAYED
It seems to be a good day for our singer songwriters who may just also happen to be gals!?
The lovely and equally fascinating Thea Gilmore has been letting her fans know what's been going on with her and some of it has been harrowing to say the least around past relationships and the way she has been treated. She has been remarkably honest about the level of abusive treatment she has suffered from for some considerable time and of late this has resulted in therapy and renaming her musical presence and writing more cathartic music I trust to aide in her recovery . . . . I don't quite know what else to say that hasn't been shared by Thea on her newsletters and website but it doesn't feel quite right to discuss them here. I attach the links to her webpages (see below) where she explores it herself and if you are or were a fan I urge you to check out what she has to say there.
Meanwhile her album has suffered some setbacks and is now delayed until later this month largely for distribution reasons I believe. - due out now on 15th October
"After the stop comes the start. After the dark; the light. This is not a drill. Afterlight is a real account of one woman’s journey from impressionable 16-year-old bound into a toxic working and romantic relationship with a man 23 years her senior, to a brand new artist and free woman finding her own beginning.
Written, produced and performed by Afterlight (the artist we once knew as Thea Gilmore, with 19 albums to her name), the eponymous debut spans the brutal truth of the opening track – an account of all the damage, both physical and mental, wrought upon one small life – through the slow, painful realisation that her entire world was built on control and lies, on to the emergence of a woman learning for the first time who she really is, making new connections and, finally, finding her own voice.
Only now that she has freed herself of that life has Afterlight been able to complete a different kind of debut – not so much a new artist as an artist renewed.
The songs on the album might share subject matter with The Emancipation of Eva Grey, the judiciously joyous jazz excursion that mark the final Thea Gilmore release for a while, but make no mistake Afterlight is a very different proposition." T. Gilmore - AFTERLIGHT
