Frank Turner is back!
His latest album ‘Undefeated’ debuts on the 3rd of May, and it’s fair to say that it is generating a lot of excitement among fans of Frank. So far, Frank has released three songs from the new album and the latest song, ‘Letters’, comes complete with a new music video.
The track is taken from Frank’s upcoming 10th album, Undefeated, which is due out on May 3 via Xtra Mile.
The latest single also came with an announcement of a European tour, and he told UK fans to ‘stay tuned’ via his social media. So here’s hoping for a UK tour announcement soon, too.
“Letters is a song that I’ve been working on for a long time,” he reveals. “In some ways, I’ve been writing it since a genuine pen-friendship of mine dried up when I was a kid, when the mixtapes stopped coming through the post.
“It’s a song about communication and its breakdown, about nostalgia for teenage romance, and about how reassessing those things as an adult can be the start of a healing process.”
