Gregory Porter Announces New Album ‘Take Me To The Alley’

• 8th Mar 2016

Jazz and soul singer-songwriter, the man in the hat, Mr Gregory Porter, is back, with new album ‘Take Me To The Alley’ released on Decca Records on 6th May.

The first single from ‘Take Me To The Alley’ is the arresting and bluesy ‘Don’t Lose Your Steam’, which Porter wrote with his three-year-old son Demyan in mind. Propelled by a stomping, organ-enhanced groove, Porter lyrics speak of staying committed to one’s goals, regardless of hardship. ‎

Porter said of the album: “With this record I continue to condense life experience into melody and most of all put love in the air. Very excited to share the music with my fans or anyone within the sound of my heart”

Next month Gregory returns to the UK for an extensive headline tour, including two London dates.
