Newton Faulkner has announced details of his new studio album. 'Human Love' is Newton’s fifth album and will be released on 20th November by BMG. Mixed by Cenzo Townshend (The Maccabees, Jungle and George Ezra) the record features a host of further high profile collaborators including Cam Blackwood (George Ezra, London Grammar, Florence and the Machine) and Ed Drewett (One Direction, The Wanted, Olly Murs). Since his debut #1 album 'Hand Built By Robots' in 2007, featuring hit single 'Dream Catch Me', Faulkner has released three further Top 10 selling albums, including the #1 'Write In On Your Skin' in 2012.
‘Get Free’ is the first UK single and its accompanying video- which sees Newton shed his trademark dreadlocks- marks a whole new chapter in his music and reflects an emboldened spirit while retaining the folk sensibility that won his legions of fans over to begin with. Watch it here.
Starting life as a worldwide online hit for Major Lazer in 2012, amassing +50Million views, 'Get Free' showcases an evolution in sound for Newton and continues his affinity with covers; having previously released a critically acclaimed version of Massive Attack’s Teardrop on his debut album.

'Human Love’ is out on November the 20th through BMG Chrysalis and a PIAS distribution.
