Kyle Falconer announces in store dates around his new solo record in February to give fans the opportunity to get their records signed by him ahead of Valentines day and will return in March for an intimate UK tour. See full dates below –tickets can be purchased here.
After releasing lead single and brand new track ‘Angelina’ in December which was an instant classic and had support from both Edith Bowman & Jo Whiley on Radio 2, Kyle now releases the reworked version of ‘Grace’ with it’s irresistible chorus.
Say’s Falconer; “Grace has always been a bit of a cult classic for the fans so it’s class to be able to break it down and add a bit more of a raw feel to the song with the focus on the lyrics.”
Kyle Falconer has always been a songwriter who has been inspired by a female muse. From his chart-topping success with The View through to his acclaimed solo career, his storytelling songs have explored the good times of love and lust; the bad times of regret and heartache; and stories of some of the larger-than-life characters who have stepped into his life, alongside some playful fictional narratives.
Recently crowned with the King Tuts’ Songwriting Award at the Scottish Music Awards, Kyle brings the best of those songs together with ‘The One I Love The Most’ which will be released on February 7th ahead of Valentine’s Day. The album is a collection of songs from his vast back catalogue, all of which are named after women and have been newly reworked in acoustic form.

The album is a collection of songs from his vast back catalogue, all of which are named after women and have been newly reworked in acoustic form.
Named after a lyric taken from The View fan favourite ‘5 Rebeccas’, ‘The One I Love The Most’ features songs spanning almost two decades: from the unrequited love of ‘Claudia’ (from the band’s #1 debut album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’) through to the lovelorn ‘Dixie’ (the original of which featured on last year’s Top 10 return ‘Exorcism of Youth’).
Along the way, the album also reinvents highlights from his two solo albums ‘No Thank You’ and ‘No Love Songs For Laura’, which often tackled more complicated themes: ‘Laura’ shares regrets for his past behaviour and the impact it had on his then-partner and now-wife Laura Wilde, to the issues of gender identity addressed in ‘Kelly’. A far lighter moment comes with ‘Madonna’, a playful, celeb-heavy imagining of what the ideal afterlife might be like, while Manchester rapper PROSE adds his razor-sharp rhymes to an otherwise stripped-back ‘Lucy’..
The album is now available to pre-order HERE. Album formats include six limited edition vinyl formats, one of which is a special Obi Edition that’s available exclusively via Assai Records.
Kyle says, “‘The One I Love The Most’ came from an idea I had after getting my own studio in Spain. I thought about all the girls' names I had written about and thought it would be a great romantic idea to put them all in one place and release the record for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to show the songs as they were without all the production and we captured the first essence of them.
It’s great to see the different feelings along the album and my ups and downs, from the childlike writing of ‘Claudia’ to the more in depth idea of ‘Kelly’ as I have seen and heard more of the world.”
‘The One I Love The Most’ was recorded at Kyle’s La Sierra Casa retreat near Alicante in Spain, with Kyle producing the project himself and performing all vocals and instruments except for contributions from Drew Palmer and Neeve Zahra.
A scenic, escapist and intimate hub for creativity, La Sierra Casa hosts regular songwriting camps led by Kyle as well as a recording studio designed to achieve peak sound quality, workflow and productivity. Several emerging artists have benefited from the camp, including Ben Walker and Cammy Barnes, while La Sierra Casa will welcome special guest experts Justin Hawkins (The Darkness), Carl Barât (The Libertines), Jamie Webster, James Allan (Glasvegas) and Laurie Vincent (Soft Play) to its upcoming songwriting camps.
