The 12-track album features poignant collaborations with Carlita, Vintage Culture, Shimza and more.

Inviting us on an emotional journey through life's loves and losses, Elderbrook has released his third album, Another Touch.

The renowned singer-songwriter, producer and keyboardist is known for his innate ability to lace introspective lyricism through atmospheric dance music. Featuring 12 tracks, Another Touch is a testament to that poetry-in-motion.

The album features collaborations with Carlita, Shimza, nimino and more. Poignant yet dance-forward, it's a shimmering showcase of soul-searching through infectious beats that resonate in true Elderbrook fashion.

Some of the album's highlights include "Sunshine," a collaboration with Snakehips that comes with the promise of brighter days ahead; and "Run," a thumping track produced alongside Brazilian electronic music superstar Vintage Culture.

Elsewhere, emotive tracks like "Shallow Water" tastefully contrast uplifting anthems like "Glad I Found You" (with George FitzGerald). That dichotomy underscores the vast range of emotions we all experience as part of the human condition.

"Another Touch is a journey of self-discovery," Elderbrook explained in a press release. "It begins with someone who has lost themselves so completely they barely recognize the person in the mirror. Everything is shallow and inconsistent in their life so as to protect them from anything which might hold some true meaning. As the album unfolds so too does the story of our 'hero' who finds new ways to think about, and reflect on their life, and the lessons learned along the way."

At its existentialist core, the album also explores "how we think about ourselves and our place within the world," he added. "Who are we when the night ends? When everything goes quiet and it is time for us to speak what do we have to say? [Another Touch is] a beautiful and reflective story of tragedy, loss and of finding yourself despite the dark."

Another Touch is out now via Mine Recordings. You can listen to the new album below and find it on streaming platforms here.
