New Studio Album I Am - Out September 20th

Sep/Oct UK In-Store Dates
2 Week November UK Arena Tour Supporting The Script

Coming off the back of a stellar UK & European festival run, lighting up the UK airwaves and his rowdiest 'Tom's Town’ pop up appearance to date, Tom Walker today unveils the beautiful title track to his highly-anticipated new album I Am - out September 20th.

A stunning, subdued beats and keys-led track, ‘I Am’ gallops in and out of Tom’s delicate, honest vocals before absolutely exploding into life with aplomb - listen HERE.

As Tom explains on the album and song title, with typically forceful passion and honesty: “I’ve called it ‘I Am’ because it's the culmination of me trying to figure out who I am for the last four years. This record is a snapshot of what's been going on in my life, and what's been happening around me – what's made me happy or sad, ecstatic or miserable.”

The album has already seen impeccable releases in ‘Burn’, ‘Freaking Out’, ‘Head Underwater’ and ‘Holy Ghost’. Tom performed ‘Burn’ & ‘Freaking Out’ with aplomb on Later…With Jools Holland. Watch HERE & HERE.

Where previously, Tom became known for powerful accounts of other people’s stories, including a friend’s battle with drugs (‘Leave A Light On’), and articulating his own relatable feelings for his now wife (‘Just You & I’); on his new album he now finds himself writing about his own personal struggles and anxieties, creative challenges, sadness and moments of despair. It is a sometimes visceral account of who Tom Walker is in 2024, hence the title: I Am.

After writing, and binning, a plethora of new tracks, an exhausted Tom subsequently headed out to Los Angeles to write with the McDonough brothers, Toby Gadd, Ryan Daly & Castle, who’s credits between them include Beyonce, Joji, Khalid, Benson Boone, Mimi Webb and John Legend. The trip reignited the excitement and love of trying brand new things.

The results speak for themselves with ‘Freaking Out’, ‘Lifeline’, ‘Burn’, ‘Head Underwater’ and now ‘Holy Ghost’. Looking ahead, Tom plays an intimate run of UK in-stores dates before heading out to the US and Europe for his own headline tour. He then returns to the UK & Europe for an arena tour with The Script across November & December.

As Tom succinctly puts it; “I will die for these songs. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt like that. You’ve got to ignore what everyone else wants from you, and you’ve got to back yourself.”

Honesty and confession, anger and agitation, frustration and relief, succour and support – this is I Am all over, and this Tom Walker, all in.

Tom will next head out on a run of UK in-store performances to support the release of I Am, then to Europe & the US for headline tours, before returning to the UK & Europe for an arena tour with The Script across November & December:
