We Love the City marks Hefner’s creative and commercial peak, with Darren Hayman crafting a fresh set of love-themed songs about London. Moving from indie-folk to upbeat, urban blue-eyed soul, the album features rich instrumentation like Hammond organs and brass. Standout tracks like ‘Greedy Ugly People’ and ‘The Day That Thatcher Dies’ showcase Hayman’s sharp, personal songwriting and vivid characters. Supported by John Peel, the album was celebrated with a live BBC Maida Vale session.
