The Head And The Heart share the new single ‘Virginia (Wind In The Night)’, which previews the April 29th release of their fifth studio album ‘Every Shade of Blue’. It’s the second song to be revealed from the album after the recent release of the title track, which was supported with coverage from Rolling Stone, Spin, Consequence and American Songwriter.
The Head And The Heart’s vocalist Jonathan Russell says, “Being from Virginia, for me this song represents a long and winding relationship to place – a place that is grounding. I’m often drawing on my life through symbolism as a way into someone else’s psyche. It’s part of my search for a deeper connection without having to compare our experiences directly. There is a reason this song has two titles. One is literal and one is symbolic. Not everyone is from Virginia, I know that. But I bet you have walked home and heard the wind in the night.”
The release of ‘Every Shade of Blue’ will add a fresh chapter to a career in which The Head And The Heart have already achieved 1.5 billion career streams, two US Top 10 albums, and landed prime billing at iconic festivals including Coachella and Lollapalooza.
‘Every Shade of Blue’ was produced by the Grammy Award-winning Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Pink, The Shins, Tegan and Sara), except for the album tracks ‘Shadows’, ‘Don’t Show Your Weakness’ and ‘Love We Make’, which were produced by Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver), and ‘Paradigm’, which was produced by John Hill and Sammy Witte (Florence + The Machine, Portugal. The Man, Cage The Elephant), and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, NY.
The album is available to pre-order or pre-save HERE.
The Heart And The Heart will follow the release of the album with the ‘Every Shade of Blue’ 2022 North American tour, which commences on May 20th. It includes a show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre which sold-out months in advance. They will be joined in select cities by special guests including Shakey Graves, Dawes and Jade Bird. Please see their website for a full list of tour dates and ticket details.
The band commented, “It’s wild to think that by the time we get back on the road this year, it will have been over two-and-a- half years since we last toured. We’re so excited to bring new songs to life on stage every night, traveling alongside artists who inspire us. We can’t wait to get out there, doing what we do with an even greater sense of gratitude.”
