It felt like a whole new chapter had started.”Check it out below.As for the album as a whole, the project is set to see the multi-instrumentalist join forces with cult producer Dan Carey – whom he describes as a “dream to make music with” – and see Templeman push his boundaries further than ever before.While still maintaining the sense of optimism and feel-good energy seen on ‘Mellow Moon’, with the new LP, the singer is set to showcase more maturity in both his sound and subject matter.“What he addresses with ‘Radiosoul’ is the struggles with social media, feeling knackered by touring, learning to deal with anxiety and panic attacks, and moving out of your parents’ house –.
