Composer and singer-songwriter Jamie Irrepressible aka – THE IRREPRESSIBLES – has shared news of a new EP āSelf Love & Acceptanceā, and shared a brand-new track āSelf Loveā.
The EP is set for release on 2 October 2023, ahead of a special UK tour this Autumn which will see stops at some of the most beautiful churches and venues across the UK.
Intended as a series of meditations surrounding the artistās own personal journey towards āSelf Love & Acceptanceā, The Irrepressibles new EP sees Jamie Irrepressible niftily craft an impressive selection of brand new songs and instrumental pieces that are just as uplifting as they are introspective.
An intimate, piano-oriented collection, the release is The Irrepressiblesā first new music in almost three years and features new single āSelf Loveā (out now).
From long-developing moments of enveloping orchestrations, to more intimate reflections on the inner processes of enlightenment and expansion, the EP is a powerfully personal contemplation on the long journey toward self-love. The EP will also feature the intensely inspiriting āTransformation of Acceptance”.
The creative guise of Northern composer Jamie Irrepressible, The Irrepressiblesā new release āSelf Love & Acceptanceā follows his three critically acclaimed studio albums āSuperheroesā (2020), āNudeā (2012) and āMirror Mirrorā (2010), featuring his now international indie-hits āMost Beautiful Boyā, āTwo Men In Loveā and āIn This Shirtā, which have over three billion streams combined.
Alongside the release Jamie and his seven-piece band of strings, percussion and folk musicians will head out on a UK tour of the countryās most beautiful churches and concert halls. Taking to the stage across October for the series of orchestral-pop shows, the shows will see Jamieās acclaimed chamber-pop songs brought to life amongst settings that match the ambience and acoustics of his innovative pieces.
