With Bobby Womack resurfacing on the Gorillaz‘s Plastic Beach in 2010 after what seemed to be a long hiatus, was a clear indicator of an artist exploring different sounds. The 69-year-old legend will be releasing his 12th studio album on XL Recordings, the same label Gil Scott-Heron last recorded on, and this will be his first solo release in twelve years.
“Please Forgive My Heart,” a free download below, is the first single off his forthcoming album The Bravest Man In The Universe, scheduled to release in June 12. What’s beautiful about this song is its minimalism, which only further highlights Womack unfaltering vocals. Sounds oh so good.
