Ziggy Alberts’ seventh studio album, “New Love,” is a jubilant celebration of life’s beautiful simplicities and the magic woven into fleeting moments. With a blend of breezy folk and rock-infused melodies, Alberts takes listeners on an enchanting ride that feels both intimate and expansive.
From the very first track, “Flowers Bathed in Sunlight,” you’re drawn into a world that radiates warmth and positivity. Ziggy’s soulful vocals glide effortlessly over the gentle instrumentation, setting the stage for a collection that feels as vibrant as a sun-drenched morning. The title track, “New Love,” encapsulates the essence of the album—a perfect balance of nostalgia and hope, reminding us that every new chapter offers the potential for joy and adventure.
Each song is a heartfelt story, with singles like “Where Does The Love Go?” and “Learn Yourself” standing out as anthem-like reflections on love and self-discovery. “Learn Yourself,” especially, captures the spirit of reconnecting with nature and finding happiness in simplicity—a theme that echoes throughout the album. The official video brings this to life with breathtaking visuals of Ziggy surfing and soaking in the Hawaiian sun, evoking a carefree vibe that’s nothing short of infectious.
What truly sets “New Love” apart is its duality; while Side A unfolds with stripped-back, folk-inspired tunes, Side B explodes into a more rock-and-country-infused sound, creating a cinematic experience that demands to be listened to from start to finish. Co-produced with Garrett Kato, the raw, organic production allows each imperfect note to resonate deeply, making every track feel personal and relatable.
Ziggy Alberts has crafted his most expansive and fully realized album to date, and it’s clear that this journey is just beginning. With over a billion streams and a loyal fanbase, “New Love” is poised to elevate his artistry to new heights. Whether you’re at Bonnaroo or singing along in your car, this album invites you to embrace life’s adventures with an open heart and an eagerness to choose joy.
