about

Curtis Harding's new album Face Your Fear is out October 27 on Anti-. New York Magazine already named the forthcoming album one of their most anticipated fall releases lauding Harding’s “scorching voice” while Clash UK hails recent new track “On and On” as “a blistering slice of dancefloor soul that recalls prime Curtis Mayfield and late 60s Motown.” The new album follows 2014’s Soul Power, on which Rolling Stone called Harding an “artist you need to know.”

Harding fuels his psychedelic sound with the essence of Soul but isn’t bound by it. Instead, the 12 songs on the new album convey an eclectic blend of genres leaping from the many musical lives he has lived from following his evangelical Gospel-singing mother on tour as a child in Michigan to rapping in Atlanta, forming a garage band with The Black Lips’ Cole Alexander to singing back-up for Cee Lo Green. Through these experiences he fully embraces life’s darkest intricacies conjuring dynamic, addictive melodies.

Face Your Fear features production by Harding, Sam Cohen, and Danger Mouse and was recorded in New York at Danger Mouse’s 30th Century Studio.

just living with a ghost of you

i felt your hands on my shoulders
and the brush of your hair
just when i turned to hold you baby
no one was there

it doesn’t matter where i go i know that you won’t ever show doesn’t matter what i do
just living with a ghost of you

there was a time that i could touch you baby
now you’re so far
is our love haunting you
wherever you are

just living with a ghost of you

you’re here i can’t live without

chorus:

my world is brighter when i’m with you
it takes me away
without your light girl
what would i do
i need my baby

the world can be so cold beating you down
you try to reach higher you’re back on the ground
but it’s never over and i’m never through
cause i got you baby and i’m so into

chorus:

my world is brighter when i’m with you
it takes me away
without your light girl
what would i do
i need my baby

i’m gone so far
"from darkness to the light’

you brighten my life girl
i need my baby
from darkness to light girl
i need my baby
you make it alright girl
i need my baby
you brighten my life girl
Track Name: As I Am: as the sun beats down my neck my forehead beads up in sweat and the earth that i till won’t conceive
i go about my day knowing all will pass away and the end i will remain just as i am
yet and still i’m holding on to you

it happens all the time in the smoke rings of my mind i am famished in this field where i stand
even with all of the stress you’re my love and happiness and in the end i will remain just as i am

chorus:

yet and still i’m holding on to you
with nothing left to do but receive
how am i supposed to make it through
when the reason for my work you don’t believe

it happens all the time in the smoke rings of my mind i am famished in this field where i stand
even with all of the stress you’re my love and happiness and in the end i will remain just as i am

chorus:

yet and still i’m holding on to you
with nothing left to do but receive
how am i supposed to make it through
when the reason for my work you don’t believe
