Indie pop singer/songwriter Simon Spire hits the U.S. with a new album titled Four-Letter Words out today! Spire has also released a new video for the single, 'Uncomfortable,' from the forthcoming release. Originally from New Zealand, Simon Spire’s musical journey brought him to New York where he has lived for the last few years and where he ultimately wrote and recorded the new material. Four-Letter Words was produced by Rich Mercurio and Lee Nadel with mixing by engineer Brian Malouf (All American Rejects, Michael Jackson, David Gray).
Four-Letter Words, the second album from the Kiwi artist, showcases Spire’s talent for energetic, upbeat pop songs while still managing to cover considerable dynamic ground, highlighting a gift for lyrical depth throughout. Spire reaches for a revealing side, saying “the songs are about being radically true to the core of oneself, to the extent that there is constant openness to and inquiry into what’s driving us.”
