UK fan favourite, Ashley Campbell has announced that her second album ‘Something Lovely’ will be released on the 9th October.
Ashley Campbell has announced that her second album ‘Something Lovely’ will be released by Vacancy Records in the UK, Ireland and Europe on 9th October 2020, as the follow up to her 2018 debut ‘The Lonely One.’ Once again, the record finds her once more showing her own self-assured nature, the weight of one of the biggest names in Country Music seemingly no burden to her. Though very much her own woman, with her own style, the undeniable influence of her father is given a classy nod by the album’s cover which features her sporting a former unaltered Glen Campbell stage outfit.
The album features twelve new tracks, including the forthcoming single and title track ‘Something Lovely’ that will be released on the 28th August, along with the album’s pre order. The follow up single ‘If I Wasn’t’ featuring Vince Gill will be released 18th September. Ashley Campbell is an incredibly accomplished musician contributing both guitar and her trademark banjo to this album. There’s an eclectic range to this album, from the woozy appeal of the likes of ‘Forever’s Not That Long’ (which sounds like it could have been delivered by Glen) and ‘Walk On By’ to the ‘Western Waltz’ feel of ‘Moonlight’. The album finishes with a stylish take on the Beach Boys’ evergreen ‘Good Vibrations’.
The youngest of the eight children of Glen Campbell, Ashley first took to the stage first as a comedian, before releasing her debut single ‘Remembering’. A new version of the track is included on ‘Something Lovely’ and the song also featured on the soundtrack to the ‘Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me’ documentary – the compilation won a Grammy and was nominated for an Oscar.
No stranger to the UK, Ashley Campbell appeared on several ‘pop up’ stages at the 2016 C2C Festival in the UK, the main stage in 2018 and also at the 2017 Nashville Meets London Festival. The album is set to be a fast favourite in the UK and will be an incredibly anticipated record in the UK country scene.
