Ron Sexsmith Returns with New Single/Video, “When Our Love Was New”
Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith has returned to share “When Our Love Was New,” a gentle ballad and heartfelt reflection upon an undying love. “We were old souls from the start. Although our love was new, it was ancient in our hearts,” says Sexsmith of the song.
Subtly embellished by woodwinds and strings, this exemplifies the vision of “baroque pop” Ron and producer Brad Jones had for the album. “When Our Love Was New” is the last single before Ron’s forthcoming album, The Vivian Line, which will be released on February 17th, 2023.
The Vivian Line is the 17th album entry in Ron Sexsmith’s compelling discography, one matched by very few contemporary singer-songwriters. His catalogue has earned him immense peer respect and a loyal international following, and this new release captures Ron at the top of his creative game. The Vivian Line is named after a rural route near Ron’s house, and he views it as “representing a sort of portal between my old life in Toronto and my new life here.”
Almost entirely written during a short period in 2021 during COVID, The Vivian Line was recorded in Nashville with producer and multi-instrumentalist Brad Jones at the Alex The Great recording studio. The result is a beautifully rich and evocative-sounding album. The vast array of instrumentation plus female harmony and backing vocals are employed subtly and judiciously, and Sexsmith is at the top of his game with his vocal performance. The Vivian Line is guaranteed to delight the Sexsmith faithful out there and deserves to attract new fans to the fold.
