BETH NIELSEN CHAPMAN
‘LOVE’
NEW SINGLE OUT NOW AHEAD OF NEW UK TOUR STARTING AUGUST 2ND
Hot off the heels of recent single, ‘Back To This Moment’ – legendary singer-songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman returns with another new track, ‘Love,’ two weeks before the start of her new UK tour on August 2nd.
This new release comes in the shape of a stunning rendition of ‘Love’, originally written and performed by US artist Sara Groves. In her interpretation, Beth’s vocals are powerful and heartfelt as the song swells with gorgeous instrumentation. This is an intimate version of the track, as Beth sings each line with a multitude of emotions that reaches deep within. Watch the video here.
“The simplicity and elegance melodically and lyrically of this song is so powerful to me” says Beth.
“It is a song about resilience which seems to be a theme for me in my songwriting as I work through stuff and try to make sense of it all. “Love” feels like it was written for me to sing, especially during these days of healing not only my grief, but as a part of all humanity in a time of collective grief. There’s nothing more powerful than a song that touches deeply into well of our experiences of sadness and loss, but also carries within it the light of hope as this song does.”
These surprise new singles from Beth are all part of the lead up to her new UK tour which kicks off in Lyme Regis on August 2nd. Tickets available here. And full dates as follows:
