Westerman Shares Solemn New Single "Your Hero Is Not Dead"
Taken from his upcoming debut album of the same name.
British singer-songwriter Westerman has dropped off his newest single “Your Hero Is Not Dead,” taken from his upcoming debut album of the same name.
“This was the last song I wrote for the whole record, but I had the title for the album before any of the music was formed,” he said in a statement. “I remember I wrote it on the day that Mark Hollis died. He’s probably as close to a musical hero as I have. The song isn’t about him or Talk Talk necessarily, but when he died I wanted to put myself to task and respond to the sadness I was feeling at that moment.”
Your Hero Is Not Dead is billed as the followup to his 2018 EP Ark, and is set to include previous singles “Blue Comanche,” “Think I’ll Stay” and “Waiting on Design,” plus his breakout tracks including “Confrontation.”
Stream Westerman’s “Your Hero Is Not Dead” on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. Your Hero Is Not Dead drops June via Partisan Records.
Elsewhere in music, Thom Yorke is curating a 24-hour radio station with Sonos.
