Album Description
Available in:
Life Love Flesh Blood is the fifth studio album recorded by Irish singer Imelda May. It was released on 7 April 2017, through Decca Records, as a follow-up to Tribal (2014). May collaborated with American musician T Bone Burnett on the record, who was the sole producer on the album. Throughout the creative process, May received guidance from U2 vocalist Bono. The album followed May's divorce from guitarist Darrel Higham, which influenced many of the lyrical themes featured on the record. Life Love Flesh Blood features soft rock and acoustic styles, which differed significantly from her previous rockabilly genre.
Commercially, the album peaked at number two on the Irish Albums Chart (IRMA), prevented from reaching number one by Ed Sheeran's album ÷. Three singles have been released from the album: "Call Me", "Black Tears", and "Should've Been You". The album also features guest appearances by pianist Jools Holland and guitarist Jeff Beck. May is scheduled to embark on an international tour in May 2017, in support of the album.
In July 2015, May announced that she had split from her husband, guitarist Darrel Higham. He served as her creative partner and collaborator for most of her previous albums. Following their divorce, Higham also quit May's band. The break-up influenced many of the themes on the album, but also gave May the courage to depart from her previous rockabilly genre. In a July 2015 interview with the Irish Independent, May confirmed that she had started working on the album, and that the release was slated for early 2016. After being postponed, the album was finally announced in November 2016, scheduled to be released on 31 March 2017. However, the album was delayed by a week in May's home-country the Republic of Ireland, and rescheduled to 21 April 2017 elsewhere.
The album was recorded over the course of seven days, in the city of Los Angeles. Some of the album's songs, such as "Black Tears", were written in the U.S. city of Nashville. Burnett introduced May to a small studio band, which consisted himself and Marc Ribot on guitars, Dennis Crouch on bass, Jay Bellerose on drums, and Patrick Warren on keyboards.
May explains why she named the album Life Love Flesh Blood in an interview with Irish magazine VIP: "There are some heartbreak songs on there but then I fell in love again, and had my heart broken again, I was up and down so I write about love and lust and guilt and joy and my family and my child and getting older or getting younger mentally. I wrote about everything, which is why I called the album Life Love Flesh Blood". Photography and creative design for the album were handled by Roger Deckker and Eddie Otchere-Dhagren. Five different packages of the album exist: standard edition, deluxe CD, deluxe download, HMV.com exclusive edition, and a heavyweight vinyl pressing. The deluxe CD is accompanied by a 36-page hardcover book, and signed copies were available on May's website. The HMV.com exclusive edition features a new song, "I Choose Love", and two ukelele cover tracks.
