‘You’re Stronger Than You Know’, was inspired by the classic soul of the Motown and Stax eras, provides a strong follow up to his previous album, 2015’s ‘Higher Than Here’. You could say that this is the album that Morrison has always wanted to make, while vocally he’s never sounded better, with his honest song-writing inspiring a voice that exudes power, tenderness and experience.
Speaking about his return after four years, Morrison, said: “I’ve been excited to get moving again especially with music that I feel good about. That’s taken me a while to get that together. Even though I’m saying it’s my best album in terms of the sound of it and how it was made and the feeling that I had when I was writing the songs, and putting it together was really natural, I still feel like there’s a better album in me but the format of how it’s presented is my favourite bit of it. I feel excited because (my album) is nothing like what’s getting playing on radio. It’s quite straightforward band in a room really, which you don’t get a lot these days.”
The announcement, that he will be heading out on a tour of the UK, comes as rock group, Kodaline, have confirmed that the singer, will be on of their special guests, for their two shows, in Dublin. Morrison will support the Dublin-born rockers, for the two concerts at St Anne’s Park, in Dublin, on the 31st of May and the 1st of June 2019. He will be joined by Irish artists Flynn and Roe, on Friday the 31st, while Somebody’s Child will join him on Saturday’s performance.
Looking forward to coming back to Dublin next month to support the boys in @Kodaline! Tickets at https://t.co/eQFIX0OoJW pic.twitter.com/0WnZyQcxde
