Richard Hawley’s second album, Lowedges, builds on the late-night mood and emotional depth of his debut with sophisticated arrangements, subtle strings, and twangy guitars. His expressive, restrained vocals explore themes of love and nostalgia without sentimentality. Tracks like the power ballad “Oh My Love” and epic “Run From Me” add dynamic range, while songs like “The Nights Are Made for Us” offer a haunting, ’50s-inspired charm. Combining English folk beauty with urban cool, Lowedges is a flawless, atmospheric collection.
