Across the run of &#8216;Let You Go&#8217; (certified Platinum), &#8216;Closer&#8217; and &#8216;Love Again&#8217;, sharp percussion layers and dream-like melodies meld with a melodic intimacy of an artist at his most comfortable. Tracks like &#8216;Star&#8217; immerse us in eclectic Afro\/R&amp;B tropes supplied by Grammy Award-winning producer Kel-P (Burna Boy, Wizkid), a sultry backing for Campbell\u2019s hedonistic flows reconciling the pain of past relationships with a more optimistic present.<\/p>\n<p>The bouncy &#8216;Run Gimme&#8217; ft. Bella Shmurda delivers another side and texture to his offering, whilst &#8216;Silver &amp; Gold&#8217; ft. Jah Vinci and &#8216;Tsunami&#8217; ft Gson (Double-Platinum) embody nostalgic afro-swing and soul. The body of work comes as an acute reminder of his growing importance and contribution to contemporary Portuguese music.<\/p>\n<p>Unleashed alongside a notably well-produced music video for &#8216;Heartless&#8217;, the record is quickly brought to life in an outburst of sharp cinematography, visually depicting a burning lust at the crossroads of a new love interest \u2013 an exhilarating chase that ultimately comes to a crashing end.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-aYlTLU2hUA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Early nominations for the MTV Europe Music Awards led to the release of Campbell\u2019s critically acclaimed debut project Lisboa (50M+ streams) &#8211; a breakthrough moment that catalysed the growing international attention and expanded Richie\u2019s own hunger for honing in on his culturally-diverse sound.<\/p>\n<p>With an incoming debut London show and new visuals across the project, Richie Campbell looks set to continue a trajectory that\u2019s made him such an iconic talent and key new artist crashing further into international consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Heartbreak &amp; Other Stories&#8217; is available now <a href=\"https:\/\/richiecampbellheatrbreakotherstories.lnk.to\/3qY4MjVUPR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via all major platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connect with Richie Campbell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/richiecampbell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichieCampbell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@realrichiecampbell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisbon multi-Platinum R&amp;B artist Richie Campbell delivers his highly anticipated new album Heartbreak &amp; Other Stories \u2013 dropping alongside a stunning cinematic music video for lead track &#8216;Heartless&#8217;.
