Richard Walters new single 'Elephant in the Room'
Richard Walters follows up last autumns ‘Where We Stand’ single ("Dreamy, string-driven pop, heralding a superb second album" according to The Sunday Times) with ‘Elephant in the Room’, the second track to be taken from the forthcoming Bernard Butler produced album ‘Pacing’.

Oxford born artist Richard Walters sings in such a beautifully gentle falsetto, without theatrics or histrionics, like a choirboy, when he really hits the high notes. It’s a voice that is reminiscent of early-period Judee Sill and late-period Billy Mackenzie, but yet all his own. Debut album, the critically lauded 'The Animal', was a softly spoken affair, largely acoustic and frequently introspective. New record, the Bernard Butler produced 'Pacing', is bolder and more immediate, a heady mix of New Order style synths, stuttering beats, and Butlers trademark guitaring, all glued together by Walters' haunting voice. He writes songs of quiet despair and unfulfilled desire, of anxiety and dismay, of meditative melancholy, of lovelessness and longing.
