He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse. How can I not remember songs that I wrote? [...]

Ain't it always the way? Follow where Damon leads, and not only do you oft find yourself penned in against a nearby HSBC storefront by his customary array of Albarn-alikes, but they that impatiently await anxiously chatter of rare Blur tour tees and other inessential memorabilia. At least it's nowhere near gelid enough for it to be blue-lipped natter, as it's remarkably mild for an October eve way out west in the revered cultural polymath's native endz. Going against the grain, however, although there may be many here to fawn over Albarn he's not exactly the figurehead of what has [...]

Brisol's bass wonder boy and label chameleon Julio Bashmore is continuing to broaden the sounds of house music with his remix of Bobby Womack's " Love Is Gonna Lift You Up ." The original track was just released last month on Womack's newest album The Bravest Man in The Universe and came readied with house elements. But Bashmore's remix gives it a slightly deeper, darker vibe and translates perfectly from soul to house with Womack's iconic, resounding voice overlaying the added [...]

Releasing his first proper studio album in almost two decades, soul and R&B legend, Bobby Womack, is back in the limelight with a stunningly modern album, its quality matching, and in some cases, surpassing his best work. The Bravest Man in the Universe is a collaboration between the XL label’s Richard Russell and the Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn (whose 2010 album, Plastic Beach , Womack made a guest appearance on.) The 68 year old singer’s world weary voice and unique personality carry the record, which is not to say that there isn’t some electrifying music backing him, no [...]

Soul singer Bobby Womack returns with a new album of adventurous neo-soul songs. WATCH THE REVIEW

It seems The Bravest Man In The Universe is symbolic of a wound that is slowly healing; Bobby Womack’s broken voice acting as the coagulant between his often blurry and traumatic past, and his openness to exploring new musical avenues.

Whatever Happened To The Times is taken from Bobby Womack 's new ( Damon Albarn produced) album The Bravest Man In The Universe - which is out now.

Bobby Womack 's The Bravest Man In The Universe is available now, an expansive album that bridges the gap between this legendary artist and the modern world. If you needed another reason to listen to the full-length, directors Jamie-James Medina and Yusuf Pirhasan have you covered. Diving in to the tortured single "Whatever Happened To The Times", the visuals set a distant tone with grainy cinematography of outer space. Perfect for enthusiasts of vintage space travel, the video will have you feeling empty and nostalgic, just as the Womack seemed to have originally intended on this recording. The Bravest [...]

After Richard Russell and XL helped Gil Scott-Heron's discography end on a high note before he passed away almost exactly a year ago with I'm New Here and the subsequent Jamie xx-assisted remix album, the label turned their attention to another musical legend who had struggled through drug issues, Bobby Womack . The process of re-invigorating Womack's musical career had of course, already begun thanks to Damon Albarn on Gorillaz's Plastic Beach album and tour. Womack's voice screeching out the speakers on 'Stylo' was like a blast of air from some [...]
