Chantel McGregor Announces New Album
Broken Heartless Liar is the first single from Chantel’s upcoming third studio album The Healing due to be released on 23 May
Over the last 15 years, the Yorkshire-born guitarist, singer and songwriter has carved a reliable presence on the British gig circuit, traversing the length and breadth of the country and appearing at some of our biggest festivals. It would be easy to presume that we know what makes her tick. However, The Healing is set to blow such preconceptions clean out of the water, revealing a whole new side to Chantel McGregor in both a musical and emotional sense.
The Healing is the next logical step of McGregor’s journey. “This is definitely a rock album – not a blues album,” stresses Chantel. “It’s heavy and dark and it introduces elements of prog-rock, which is a form of music I absolutely love”
The first single, Broken Heartless Liar is a raw, defiant rock anthem about finally seeing the truth and taking back your power. Chantel says about the track: “It captures the moment you realise the person you loved never really valued you, just took what they could while giving nothing in return. With a driving riff, a blistering guitar solo, and a chorus that sticks in your mind, Broken Heartless Liar will connect with anyone who has ever had to fight their way out of a bad relationship and come out stronger on the other side.
The album features McGregor’s regular band-mates Colin Sutton on bass and Thom Gardner on drums, players with whom she has developed a form of musical telekinesis. Noted UK guitarist Oli Brown is co-producer. To celebrate the album’s arrival on May 23, the band will play a special launch show at legendary venue The 100 Club in London’s Oxford Street on the same day.
