Tom Walker, winner of the BRITs ‘British Breakthrough Act’ 2019, has taken the charts by storm this year. Without doubt Tom has established himself as a major voice in music with his honesty and passion. His plaintive, acoustic driven new single ‘Better Half Of Me’, is as stunning and addictive as previous certified Platinum hits ‘Leave A Light On’ And ‘Just You And I’ and looks set to follow in the same footsteps. All tracks feature on the special deluxe edition of his smash hit debut album ‘What A Time To Be Alive’, released November 8th.
The album title, ‘What a Time To Be Alive’, is taken from one of Tom’s best-loved songs, ‘Blessings’, and is indicative of the hope and optimism that permeates this blistering 12 track collection of original songs written or co-written by Tom and sung in his unmistakable voice. One of the unique things about Tom Walker is the way his songs resonate with his fans. Tom has been overwhelmed by the response he’s had on social media and at shows to ‘Leave A Light On’, and the hope it has given listeners the world over. ‘Just You and I’ has already become a wedding staple as well as hitting no.3 in the UK Singles Chart. The album sleeve, created by the innovative artist Craig Alan, features an extraordinary portrait of Tom comprised of over 2000 miniature figures of people, many of whom have influenced Tom throughout his 26 years on the planet.
The special Deluxe Edition of ‘What A Time To Be Alive’ features four brand new songs, the previously unreleased single version of ‘Just You And I’ and the previously unreleased version of ‘Leave a Light On’ as featured in the Sony Bravia TV ad. After a highly successful sold-out UK headline tour in April, and a summer of storming festival sets, he’s taken the leap into even bigger venues with ease and embarked on a sold out UK headline tour, which kicked off at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
