Lovesongs by Loverman, released 27 October 2023. This version of Lovesongs comes as a 1xLP in a(n) Gatefold Sleeve packaging. The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. Loverman is the alter-ego of Wijgmaal-born musician and singer James De Graef. In recent years, he already made a name for himself with the flipped space rock band Shht and the experimental pop duo Partners (together with Daisy Darkpark). All the while, he also strummed his old acoustic guitar, resulting in stripped-down love songs, recorded with little resources somewhere on a rooftop. The influence of the modern troubadours (Brel/Walker/Cohen) is very recognisable, but Loverman himself also quotes the crackling electronica of Burial, his British-Belgian identity and the television series The Singing Detective. Expect a theatrical live show from a race performer, with special supporting roles for silence and the unexpected. But above all: a formidable deep voice that rubs and moves.
