BLIND FAITH

Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes has shared details of her long-awaited sixth album Blind Faith, set for release on LP and CD. Having taken the time and space she needed to figure out what she wants to tell the world. Hayes has plenty to say, with Blind Faith diving into themes of longing, empowerment, freedom and repression. While Hayes's songwriting is as personal as ever, it's abstract nature allows the listener to sink into each song, immersed by tender guitar picking, eerie synths and swooning cello. It's made all the more remarkable given this is Hayes's first album in a decade.
