Alfie Templeman Debuts “Hello Lonely”
Alfie Templeman is back with new single “Hello Lonely” today, the track is off his forthcoming album Radiosoul, which drops on June 7th, 2024 via Chess Club Records / AWAL. On Radiosoul “Templeman Sonically, experiments with funk & disco and brings collaborators into his world for the first time — and literally, as he leaves the small farm town he’s lived in his entire life and navigates the experience of young adulthood in London. It’s an album of self-discovery; one that zips between genres at whim and channels a newfound incisiveness and acerbic humor.”
“To me, this song captures those existential thoughts everyone seemed to have during the pandemic (and even post-pandemic) where everyone kinda said ‘So what now?’,” says Alfie about the track. “I’ve always had a bit of a dodgy social battery and sometimes struggle with social media and touring as it can require a lot of energy to get on stage 100 times a year and maintain conversation with so many different people. When you have such a different work life compared to home life, silence becomes pretty deafening and very intense. ‘Hello Lonely’ is about coping with those big quiet moments and checking in on your own sanity.”
A self-taught artist, Templeman has learnt a dozen instruments himself. He has teamed up with Nile Rodgers (Chic), Dan Carey (Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C.), Oscar Scheller (Arlo Parks, Charli XCX), Charlie J Perry (Jorja Smith), Karma Kid, Will Bloomfield, Justin Young and Josh Scarbrow. Recorded over 5 months predominantly in South London.
In his young career, Templeman has already collaborated with the legendary artist Todd Rundgren on his recent album “Space Force”, Dom Valentino, Anna of the North and Boy Pablo’s producer Bob Junior on their recent outputs and co-wrote and produced “Dizzy” by Chloe Moriondo.
