Grammy winning singer-songwriter Dan Wilson is set to releases his brand new single Love Without Fear on October 27th 2014. The single is the bitter-sweet title track from his new solo album and coincides with by a very special ‘Words and Music with Dan Wilson’ UK Tour that runs through October.

Dan is best known in the UK as the frontman for Semisonic with their huge hits ‘Closing Time’, ‘Secret Smile’ and the million selling album ‘Feeling Strangely Fine’ which went platinum in the US and the UK.

In the interim Dan has carved out a stellar reputation as one of the most talented, successful and in-demand songwriters at work today, collaborating with a diverse range of artists including Nas, Birdy and Adele with whom Dan co-wrote the multi-award winning million-selling masterpiece “Someone Like You”, one of three songs he co-wrote for her invincible ‘21’ album.

Dan has stepped back into the spotlight with ‘Love Without Fear’, an album that showcases his songwriting skills from start to finish. Containing eleven songs as carefully crafted as they are spontaneously touching, the album traverses the spectrum of human relationships from the darkest blues of loss and heartache to the brightest reds of love and happiness.

“I really wanted to make a record that felt singer-songwriter in its DNA,” says Dan. “I like things that are, basically, folk music with that Americana twang, but I’m too influenced by Broadway or urban pop sounds from the 60s to make a proper country-sounding record. With this album, I wanted to make something that sits at the intersection between twangy Americana and The Beatles.”

Love Without Fear is a beautiful introduction to the music of Dan Wilson, while songs such asthe upbeat Your Brighter Days and gentler Too Much, mix Dan's distinctive vocals with vocal and instrumental depth Love Without Fear and A Song About Anything are an energetic throwback to Dan's Semisonic days and We Belong Together has the signature Dan Wilson anthemic sing a long style.

Love Without Fear the album is available now while Dan Wilson's Words & Music UK Tour visitsLondon, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham during October. Visit danwilsonmusic.com for details.
