Ben Howard unveils three new songs

After returning earlier this year to release his stunning album 'Noonday Dream', Ben Howard has now returned to share three new singles.

The new tracks 'Another Friday Night', 'Hot Heavy Summer (w/ Sylvan Esso)' and 'Sister' were all recorded during the session for his latest album, with 'Hot Heavy Summer' premiered on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night (13th September).

Speaking about the track, Howard said, "The recording sessions for Noonday Dream were so varied and over quite a period of time. There were little gems that we didn't know what to do with but it felt right to put these 3 together, both separate and a part of the album so to speak. Amelia (Sylvan Esso) is just incredible, fortune prevailed, and we managed to get in the studio. I had it in the back of my mind as soon as we initially recorded Hot Heavy Summer that the track just felt right for her."
