David Ramirez My Love Is A Hurricane LP

Written as a transformative relationship began ripping apart at the seams, the lyrics and storytelling of once heart-broken and cynical singer/songwriter David Ramirez sit upon dreamy, psychedelic landscapes that evoke genre-melding contemporaries from Michael Kiwanuka to Grizzly Bear. In facing his pain and self-doubt head on, Ramirez turned My Love is a Hurricane into a story of potential, survival, hope, and encouragement.

His first new song since 2017, "Lover, Will You Lead Me" captures the feeling of invincibility that comes with falling in love with someone new. "In past relationships," says Ramirez, "no matter how eager I was to feel loved and to give love, there had always been a hesitation to crawl out of my old life. I no longer felt this way."

The album was produced by Jason Burt (Leon Bridges, Dead Flowers, Paul Cauthen), mixed by Matt Pense (Shakey Graves, Elle King), and features vocals by Kelsey Wilson (Wild Child, Sir Woman, Glorietta).

In 'Lover, Will You Lead Me?' he expertly demonstrates how a songwriter can hone in on an esoteric feeling and write a song that resonates emotionally with a listener, and he does so by laying out his heart and realistically portraying what the experience of new love really is at the core, a tumultuous triad, composed in equal parts of hoping, longing, and waiting.
