Following his warmly received 2023 EP ‘Second Son, Pt. 1’, the artist can confirm that its sequel will arrive early this year, with both collections forming two separate halves of a brand new album entitled ‘Second Son’.
“I’m a second son, a stranger to most but loved by some. I’ve been afraid since I was young” confesses Brown in the opening verse of “My Ordinary Life”, “It takes a lot of pretending to be strong”.
Hallmarked with the vivid storytelling and self-effacing songwriting that Allman Brown calls his own, “My Ordinary Life” is one of his most personal and poignant singles so far – “a pocket autobiography” in Allman’s own words, referencing key moments in his journey so far. He explains further:
“It’s about my life so far and the love I feel for my wife and children and how they are quite simply the reason I’m alive. They are my purpose. I really enjoy how this song doesn’t really have a chorus, just a little refrain and a change in my phrasing. I wrote it in about two hours which was a rush.”
Pulsing with a persistent beat, glistening electronics, and guitar lines just bursting to be heard in the great wide open, Allman’s impassioned vocal beckons this earnest, enrapturing track to its climactic finale. A full-force, heart-on-sleeve, pop ballad for the here and now, “My Ordinary Life” was created with the assistance of Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Gang Of Youths), whose expertise enables Brown to take the next step in his “quest to take a traditional sound and push it a little into a new space” here.
Part of a new five-track collection, ‘Second Son, Pt. 2‘ will pick up where its predecessor left-off and will spotlight a deeply personal chapter in his musical journey. Exploring themes of love, loss, self-reflection, and the human experience; together the EPs invite listeners to embark on a profound emotional journey with Allman, who aims to strip his songs to their essence and embrace vulnerability and authenticity.
