As if he’s never been away, Ian Broudie returns this spring with a new Lightning Seeds album, the first for ten years, featuring ten new songs written and produced by Broudie.
Wrapped in melody and full of the kind of timeless emotional depth we’ve come to expect from him, ‘Four Winds’ is both uplifting and thought provoking. It’s a beautiful album that strikes a warm fuzzy familiar chord while managing to reach a new musical maturity.
“It’s not like I’ve ever been away, really,” Ian says. “I’ve been a part of music all my life and that never stops. These are just songs that represent where I am on this journey.”
Highlights are many and include the melancholic ‘4 Wind’, the ethereal sway of ‘Ghosts’, the pop swagger of ‘The Story Goes’ and the autobiographical ‘I Still Feel The Same’.
“What I want to do is take everything that has made me who I am, imbibing the sixties, seventies, punk bands, Britpop, hip hop, this quite unique musical journey that sometimes feels like it’s been back to front, being a producer then a pop star,” Ian says. “I feel like whatever it is that I am supposed to be doing, I haven’t done yet. I feel like I am just getting started.”
Brilliant new album,I love 4 winds.Hopefully you're now back to your creative best and we wont have to wait as long for another album.I know you've had enough on your plate over the last few years and music understandably took a back seat but it's really good to have you back!! Keep your chin up Ian,the World needs the Lightning Seeds.
It was really great to see you playing at Nantwich on Staurday, it was lovely to hear the songs in a more stripped-back style, especially Pure. It made me realise why I loved the songs so much. Thank you.
Thank you so so so much for 4 WINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been so good to have new LS songs to play again and again!!!! I do hope there will be another album in the coming years! Please don't let us wait 10 years!!!! Or maybe another solo album!..... Love you since Pure & forever!!!! Michel
