Four years on since the release of his debut solo album Somebody Else, Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson returns this August with his long overdue second album, 10Charlie, out Friday 14 August (pre-order here).
Having previously shared first single ‘Weekends’, Jamieson is back with another taste in the form of ‘Blue as the Sunlight’. The track is a mellow guitar ballad Jamieson says is “about unconditional love.”
He adds, “Not just for others, but for yourself as well. In some ways, from my perspective, this is about having empathy and forgiveness. It’s about allowing yourself to be loved and also in doing so, loving others. It’s this feeling that pierces through the melody.”
“Lyrically, it’s a little obtuse in some ways, but the drama of the song comes from me trying to communicate that on my own personal journey, I’ve unlocked a way to spread love and do it in an unconditional manner. I’m not always great at it, but I try. That’s the purpose behind the track.”
Produced by Oscar Dawson, the record features collaborations with Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar and Soph Ozard.
“This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson says. “It’s a balm for my soul. 10Charlie is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row, your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take off.”
