The singer told his fans on Instagram: 'The time has finally arrived. After 4 years of writing & recording, I am so bloody proud to announce that my BRAND NEW ALBUM "I AM" is coming out next year.
'I can't tell you the amount of time, passion and energy I have poured into making this record. I won't lie, at times it hasn't been easy, I've ripped up and binned more than an album's worth of material to get to this point. But I can confidently say I've never believed in the music I am making more than I do now. I am absolutely in love with these songs and the production that backs them up. To celebrate this record, I'm hitting the road in April 2024 for my biggest tour to date across the UK and Ireland.'
He also shared a clip from his title track with the lyrics: 'I'm a son to my mother, a husband, a brother, a silly heart, a dreamer, I am an underachiever / I am certain of the uncertainties around me, made up of boxes and boundaries / Just an anxious soul trying to get back home. I am a late sleeper, crafting songs in a bedroom until 4am.
'Rip it all up just to start again . I am blessed to have love from my family. Lucky to have friends who make me smile every mile that we walk together / Barry's together. I am madly in love with the woman I adore / Keeps me calm like the sound of the waves hitting shore, as she sweeps me off my feet in an abundance of happiness and joy / She washes over me. When she's close I can always sleep, only with her I am me.'
What has Tom said about his upcoming album?
Speaking to Tom Green backstage at Hits Live, Tom Walker opened up about his new album, saying: "I've been doing a lot of writing (this year), I'm finally like two tracks away from finishing my album, which is so exciting."
The singer went on to explain why he's so excited, saying: "I've been working on it for the longest, longest, time and it sounds so good and so exciting. So I just can't wait to get new music out, but I have been burying my head in the studio a lot of this year."
