Ron Pope New Album "Inside Voices" + UK tour

Peter Anderson • Sep 25, 2023

“This is an album from a man who's been on his knees and, through love and music,

has found the strength to get back to his feet; it could well do the same for you.”


Platinum recording artist and multi-instrumentalist, Ron Pope, has released his version of Harry Styles’ ‘Late Night Talking’earlier this month. Following an intimate show at the end of August at Blüthner Piano Centre for select media and fans in London. The showcase celebrated the release of Pope’s new album Inside Voices and previewed his upcoming 13-date UK and European headline tour.


 Pope’s Inside Voices is an expertly crafted collection of songs about growth, heartache, lasting love, the joys of parenthood, and living with gratitude. Lead single ‘The Real Thing’ and its album-mates from Inside Voices were all created in the wake of the experience of nearly losing his wife in 2020, infusing renewed vitality into music written about a relationship that has been explored in song for nearly two decades and ten albums.


This is an album that was created in an emotional foxhole, written as Pope and his family recovered from his wife’s near death experience and recorded as he tragically lost both of his grandparents over one eight-day span. My grandparents were the kind of ‘crazy in love but also practical, good partners’ that we are,” Pope says. “They died eight days apart, right as we were working up this music. I waded through a river of darkness during that period and I damn near drowned in it, but when I came out the other side, I was so full of gratitude.” 


The ten song journey leads listeners through his transition from son to husband and father, through grief and ultimately, back to joy. Pope made a name for himself in the early days of social media with the viral success of his song, ‘A Drop in the Ocean’ - which was shared completely organically and promoted independently, garnering collectively over one billion streams, causing his album, Daylight, to go platinum in the US and double-platinum in Sweden. Instead of stalling, Pope’s career has soared to new heights with each subsequent release.

“ ...Robin demonstrates his vulnerability through poignant and introspective lyricism " - Wonderland Acclaimed Swedish pop artist Boy In Space (Robin Lundbäck) releases his highly anticipated new EP 'Copium' along with a cinematic new video for single Mayflowers. This year has seen Boy In Space be more vulnerable than ever, as he has opened up about both physical- and mental health struggles through his music. Having already released tracks Atom Bomb, Finally Fine Without You and The Last Time. this newest offering will act as the fourth and final single, coinciding with the release of his EP ‘Copium’. The accompanying new video sees Robin take on a fresh role as both an actor and co-director, beautifully blending his passion for filmmaking with his staple raw vocalism and earnest lyrics. As the new EP reflects themes of vulnerability and self-improvement, Mayflowers is a nostalgic anthem about being able to appreciate the past. Boy In Space: ” With the music video for 'Mayflowers,' ROOM7 and I were heavily inspired by the movies 'Taxi Driver' and 'The Tree of Life.' " We wanted to contrast those settings. One being very dark and gloomy, and the other being beautiful and light, like the memories of what used to be. It was a great learning curve being a co-director on this project and also being a silent actor. We filmed the video in my hometown of Alingsås, which made the process a lot easier, knowing the best locations for certain scenes. ” ” Coming from a time in my life with a lot of challenges and changes, working with 'Copium' really has been an important coping mechanism for me these last months and has given me a chance to get a lot of things off my chest, It's a collection of songs I honestly can say I'm really proud of. " The EP arrives after a tumultuous few years for Robin. In addition to undergoing three surgeries and facing physical health struggles, he has had to wrestle with the mental challenges that come with living with ADHD. The final two songs, Mayflower and Somewhere Far Away, certainly reflect themes of mental health and self-improvement, but this project has also allowed Robin to explore his creative interests on a lighter note. " It’s been so much fun to dive into my interest in old school films in making the visuals for this EP. The people I’ve worked with are crazy talented, both on the music and visual side of things. It really does feel like a perfect relaunch for me to get an outlet for my creativity and a springboard for where I want to go next. I would love it if ‘Copium’ could help others to cope with whatever they are going through like it has helped me .” Boy In Space achieved international success at a remarkably young age. After embarking on a world tour with his brothers, he transitioned to launch his solo career in 2018, solidifying his position on the global music scene. His distinctive voice, whimsical writing style, and versatile productions quickly captivated the pop world, leading to an impressive tally of over half a billion streams on Spotify alone. All the while maintaining independence as an artist and touring extensively in the United States and Europe. He keeps on shining armed with a new team, a fresh visual identity and a wealth of new music. Collaborations include Alan Walker, The Struts, 1Mind, Toby Gadd, Pink Sweat$, Phoebe Ryan, Jordan Shaw, NOTD, Shy Martin, John Newman, Red Triangle, Nick Furlong, Rod Wave, Freddy Alexander, among others. With this brand new attitude and determination to put an imprint on today's pop sound, the future looks bright for Boy In Space. to keep an eye on where his new orbit should take him: FIND BOY IN SPACE ONLINE: YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY / INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK
