Richard Hawley

Description


********** English **********

Almost 25 years into his career, the British musician is more charismatic than ever. Richard Hawley has just unveiled his tenth album, and ‘In This City They Call You Love’ lives up to all its promises. In the wake of this, he has decided to go back on tour to bring it to life live, and he'll be sure to make a stop in Brussels! Until the early 2000s, the Sheffield-born musician was widely respected for his guitar skills. He played with Longpigs, Arctic Monkeys, Elbow, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers and his long-time bandmates Pulp. But in his late thirties, this fan of Roy Orbison and Scott Walker decided to go solo and let his deep voice, part of a long tradition of English crooners, shine through. He was right a thousand times over. Hawley now boasts a magnificent discography of ten albums considered by many to be timeless masterpieces, two of which have been nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. This unanimous recognition has led him to sing duets with Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra and Shirley Bassey. Audiences have also been seduced by his husky yet gentle voice, and by his emotionally-charged melodies, transcended by the twangy sound of his guitar. The real consecration finally came with the surprising and dazzling ‘Standing at the Sky's Edge’ (2012), an astonishing psychedelic escapade and also his biggest commercial success to date. After the release of his first Best of last year, he can be proud to be considered one of the most brilliant British songwriters of the last 20 years.Today, Richard Hawley takes us on another spellbinding journey, blending vintage rock and romantic ballads with infinite delicacy. This is his tenth album, stripped back to its essentials, a new masterpiece that he will be performing live on 10 September. A must-see!

A bientôt 25 ans de carrière le musicien britannique est plus charismatique que jamais. Richard Hawley vient tout juste de dévoiler son dixième album, et "In This City They Call You Love" tient toutes ses promesses. Dans la foulée, il a décidé de repartir en tournée pour le faire vivre en live et ne manquera pas de passer par Bruxelles ! Jusqu’au début des années 2000, le natif de Sheffield était respecté de tous pour ses qualités de guitariste. Que ce soit au sein du groupe Longpigs ou aux côtés d’entre autres Arctic Monkeys, Elbow, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers et ses camarades de longue date, Pulp. Mais, à la trentaine passée, le fan de Roy Orbison et de Scott Walker a décidé de partir en solo et de laisser raisonner sa voix profonde qui s’inscrit dans une longue tradition de chanteurs crooner anglais. Il a eu mille fois raison. Hawley affiche aujourd’hui une magnifique discographie de dix albums considérés par beaucoup comme des chefs d’œuvre intemporels, dont deux ont été nommés au prestigieux Mercury Music Prize. Cette reconnaissance unanime l’a notamment amené à chanter en duo avec Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra ou encore Shirley Bassey. Le public s’est également laissé séduire par cette voix rauque et douce à la fois, et par ses mélodies emplies d'émotions, transcendées par le son twangy de sa guitare. La véritable consécration arrive enfin avec le surprenant et éblouissant « Standing at the Sky's Edge » (2012), une étonnante escapade psychédélique et aussi son plus gros succès commercial à ce jour. Après la sortie de son premier Best of l’année dernière, Il peut être fier d’être considéré comme l'un des plus brillants songwriters britanniques de ces 20 dernières années.Aujourd’hui, Richard Hawley nous entraine pour un nouveau voyage envoûtant qui mélange rock vintage et ballades romantiques avec une délicatesse infinie. Il nous offre un dixième album dépouillé mais qui va à l’essentiel. un nouveau chef d’œuvre qu’il va nous faire découvrir en live le 10 septembre. Un rendez-vous obligatoire !

Na bijna 25 jaar carrière is de Britse muzikant charismatischer dan ooit. Richard Hawley heeft zojuist zijn tiende album uitgebracht, "In This City They Call You Love", waarmee hij al zijn beloften waarmaakt. Ondertussen besloot hij ook op tour te vertrekken om die prachtplaat live te brengen, en Brussel zit er weer bij! Tot het begin van de jaren 2000 werd de Sheffield-native vooral gelauwerd vanwege zijn ongelofelijke kwaliteiten als gitarist, of het nu binnen de groep Longpigs was of aan de zijde van onder meer de Arctic Monkeys, Elbow, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers of zijn oude kameraden van Pulp. Maar dan toch besloot de Roy Orbison en Scott Walker fan om solo te gaan en zijn diepe stem, die deel uitmaakt van een lange traditie van Engelse croonerzangers, te laten resoneren. En gelijk had hij. Hawley beschikt over een prachtige discografie van tien albums die door velen worden beschouwd als tijdloze meesterwerken, waarvan twee werden genomineerd voor de prestigieuze Mercury Music Prize. Deze mooie erkenning bracht hem ertoe duetten te zingen met iconen als Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra en Shirley Bassey. Hij verleidt het publiek met zijn hese, zachte stem en zijn melodieën vol emotie, overstegen door de twangy geluiden die hij uit zijn gitaar tovert. En dan komt het verassende en oogverblindende "Standing at the Sky's Edge" (2012), een verbazingwekkende psychedelische escapade die iedereen omverblaast en aldus zijn grootste commerciële succes tot nu toe blijkt. Na de release van zijn 'Best of' vorig jaar, kan hij er prat van op te worden beschouwd als een van de meest briljante Britse songwriters van de afgelopen twintig jaar. Vandaag neemt Richard Hawley ons mee op een nieuwe, boeiende reis die vintage rock en romantische ballades combineert met oneindige delicatesse. Hij biedt ons een tiende album aan zonder franjes, dat tot de essentie gaat. Een nieuw meesterwerk dat we op 10 september live gaan ontdekken. Een verplichte afspraak!
