Throughout 11 original songs, he explores new musical terrain and reveals himself in an unprecedented way in the wake of a fractured relationship. In conjunction with today's album announcement, Marlon announces an international tour and shares the album's penultimate track, “Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore,” a duet with ex-girlfriend Aldous Harding, recorded after the two broke up via a late-night long distance phone call, and it's accompany video.
While ‘Make Way For Love’ draws on Marlon's own story, a new area for him after conscientiously not sharing his own life in song in the past, it captures the vagaries of relationships we've all been through: the bliss, ache, uncertainty, and bitterness. Like the best of breakup records, Make Way For Love doesn't shy away from heartbreak, but rather stares it in the face, and mines beauty from it. Delicate and bold, tender and searing, it's a mightily personal new step for Marlon.
