After picking up the King Tuts’ Songwriting Award at the Scottish Music Awards (SMAs), Kyle Falconer has announced a new solo album for 2025.
This time, The View‘s frontman takes on Valentine’s Day, releasing a collection of re-worked love songs from his back catalogue along with some new additions to form “The One I Love The Most”.
The album will be released on February 7th and the title is inspired by a lyric from The View fan favourite track, “5 Rebeccas”.
The album’s lead single and brand new track ‘Angelina’ will be unveiled on December 20th.
Kyle commented: “‘The One I Love The Most’ came from an idea I had after getting my own studio in Spain. I thought about all the girls’ names I had written about and thought it would be a great romantic idea to put them all in one place and release the record for Valentine’s Day.
“I wanted to show the songs as they were without all the production and we captured the first essence of them. It’s great to see the different feelings along the album and my ups and downs, from the childlike writing of ‘Claudia’ to the more in depth idea of ‘Kelly’ as I have seen and heard more of the world.”
The album was recorded at Kyle’s Spanish songwriting retreat, La Sierra Casa, which will welcome special guest experts, Justin Hawkins (The Darkness), Carl Barât (The Libertines), Jamie Webster and Laurie Vincent (Soft Play) to its upcoming camps.
The album is now available to pre-order HERE.
