‘Murmurate’ is the first collection of songs to be released in Walters’ own name since ‘Golden Veins’ in 2020. The singer-songwriter explains it is not another “lockdown album”, but rather a reflection of the curious period that followed. Shifting from piano ballads, folk/pop poetry to a longing romantic duet (Lydia Oliver), ‘Murmurate’ often ruminates on the need for real-world relationships and the meaningful connections with those closest to us. Richard will be touring the UK in November.
