Wills & The Willing - Another Long Week *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 5th July 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Another Long Week comprises 13 new songs. Written with a heavy Americana/Country influence that sits in juxtaposition to Wills’ unmistakable South London-tinged vocals. The songs are cinematic, confessional, at times apocalyptic and reflect Wills’ current life darting between England and Arizona, where he now calls home. Wills never shies away from bringing his own deeply personal vulnerabilities to life in his songs and the current stable of musicians he is working with, bring a depth and interesting colours to the overall sound of this new recording. It is the album that will define Ian Wills. It is the zenith of a life’s journey that you would believe to be fiction were it not for the man himself. From biting poverty and abuse on the grimmest London council estates of the 1970s to the top-flight of British business, battles with politicians and his own demons, and finally to his much longed for career as a writer and performer from spoken word to a vocal sound that is unmistakable.

Described by the Sunday Times as an ‘The Ian Dury of the 21st Century’, Wills continues to craft his open, honest lyrics which remain at times stark, brutal and confrontational. On this his fifth outing, he further confirms himself as one of the UK’s most interesting and thoughtful lyricists.
