The resurgent Chesney Hawkes is back where he belongs with the new album Living Arrows, co-written with his friend and life-long collaborator <a href="spotify:artist:7kCL98rPFsNKjAHDmWrMac" data-name="Nik Kershaw">Nik Kershaw</a> and produced by the BRIT Award winner and Grammy nominee <a href="spotify:artist:20twLKFb2Nhd8duUH0k2DJ" data-name="Jake Gosling">Jake Gosling</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:6eUKZXaKkcviH0Ku9w2n3V" data-name="Ed Sheeran">Ed Sheeran</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4AK6F7OLvEQ5QYCBNiQWHq" data-name="One Direction">One Direction</a>). All three of its singles - <a href="spotify:album:3wpQ23zpnxwTV0Zwq1fvwT" data-name="LOUD!">LOUD!</a>, <a href="spotify:album:54Kik5kpDgdblzXP160zCt" data-name="Get A Hold Of Yourself">Get A Hold Of Yourself</a> and <a href="spotify:track:4fhRHs7ZOyGd7Ioc6mK6pX" data-name="Live Forever">Live Forever</a> - have graced the Radio 2 playlist, and he also performed an outstanding BBC Radio 2 Piano Room session. He has also enjoyed a rapturous reception at recent live shows, first touring arenas across Europe as special guest to <a href="spotify:artist:7KMqksf0UMdyA0UCf4R3ux" data-name="James Blunt">James Blunt</a> and then selling out his current UK headline run.
All evidence suggests that ‘Living Arrows’ will be Chesney’s biggest album hit since his 1991 debut <a href="spotify:album:7METUyd4PkKZTuen6UqeQz" data-name="Buddy's Song">Buddy's Song</a>. It shows Chesney at his most vulnerable, completely free of inhibitions or doubts. There is heartache, yes, but there is joy, too, and gratitude for everything he has in life. Combined with his heartfelt, candid style of songwriting, the album’s cohesive pop-rock sound paints a roadmap for his children, as he intended, but for listeners, too. It’s evident throughout his greatest work to date that he has nothing to hide.
The arrows have been shot, over to you.
