Devon Welsh (formerly of Majical Cloudz) has announced a new solo album, Come With Me If You Want To Live, due out March 15 via American Dreams. It’s his third solo album and first since 2019’s True Love, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below. “It’s a soundtrack for a film that doesn’t exist and probably shouldn’t exist,” Welsh says. “In that sense it’s a fantasy album. But a lot of the songs are personal fantasies, so it’s also something of a personal album. I hope it’s a fun album in the sense that it inspires your own personal action movie. So you could call it an action album. It would be fair to call it a pop album, in that I would be pleased if it were popular. It’s my album, but I want to give it to you. So it’s your album now.” About the title, he continues, “You should take the title both as an homage to The Terminator and also as me saying to you, ‘I want you to live’. So in that sense, the album is about living. I am still alive.”
The first single is propulsive electro-pop track “You Can Do Anything.” “I hope that as you listen to this song, you will feel what the title says,” Welsh says. “It’s the opening scene to the film, where we meet the protagonist in the midst of an explosive sequence full of melodrama and winks at the camera. If I constructed it correctly, the song should fill you with a sense of momentum and can-do attitude.” Watch the accompanying video from multimedia artist Jason Harvey, with Welsh in superhero form, below.
