Andrew Cushin lived up to the hype with his debut album ‘Waiting For The Rain’, which spent three weeks at #1 on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart while surging into the Top 10 on the Independent Albums and Record Store Charts. He also became an increasingly big draw in the live arena, particularly in his hometown of Newcastle where he became the youngest Geordie to sell-out the City Hall with 4500 people in attendance over two nights, before subsequently headlining the big outdoor Tyne of the Mouth Festival last summer.
That, however, was just the beginning. 2025 will see Andrew Cushin rise to even greater things with the release of his second album, ‘Love Is For Everyone’, on May 2nd via LAB Records. Andrew introduces the album with the lead single ‘L.I.F.E.’ and also announces details of his next UK headline tour. Listen HERE.
Just as ‘Waiting For The Rain’ introduced a bigger, bolder sound from that of his early EPs, ‘Love Is For Everyone’ again sees Andrew pushing his sound into new territory. That expressive, all-feeling voice still dominates and brings his relatable and poignant autobiographical lyrics to life. This time, however, the music’s scale is amplified further, taking in a diverse array of influences and setting the stage for his singer-songwriter roots to crash headfirst into mainstream awareness.
‘L.I.F.E.’ demonstrates why Andrew is poised to make his biggest connection yet. Simply put, every aspect sounds next level, from its booming introductory beats to the strident baritone of his vocal through to the cinematic scope and nuanced details that flourish throughout the production. Thematically it’s a subtle twist too: often Andrew has spoken observationally of striving to cope with life’s challenges. But this time he’s encouraging people to do all they can regardless of their circumstances and celebrating the things that make life worth living.
‘Love Is For Everyone’ is now available to pre-order or pre-save HERE. Fans who pre-order the album from his official store will receive access to a pre-sale which opened yesterday and will remain live until tickets go on general sale from 10am on Friday 22nd November.
