Newman - Ignition (2020)

In 1997 singer/songwriter Steve Newman formed the band Newman and since 1998 he has been producing consistently high quality albums filled with hook laden songs and thought provoking lyrics. In 2018 Newman was invited back to play the HRH Festival in support of the 20th anniversary of the debut album. The rest of 2018 and for the first part of 2019 Steve remained busy writing and recording for other artists in different genres, taking a break from focusing on Newman and moving into different areas both musically and lyrically. Revitalized after a break of two years, Steve turned his attention to the next Newman album, bringing in influences from some of the projects he'd worked on previously but also returning to the writing and sound that has become part of the Newman legacy. So, the first Newman album in 3 years, "Ignition", is finally here, 12 songs in a natural continuation from 2017's "Aerial" release. The album was recorded at Chrome Dome Studios in London between May and October 2019 with all songs being written and arranged by Steve Newman.
