The bewitching ‘If’, his debut single, marks both the start of an overdue solo career and the latest chapter in the life of a longtime lynchpin of the Sheffield music scene. Best known as the guitarist/bassist and co-songwriter in Reverend & The Makers, Ed has spent 15 years conquering the charts and touring the world, yet leaving the limelight to others. With ‘If’, the first song written for his forthcoming solo album, Fortunes Favour (due early 2021), he’s finally ready to reveal his true self. “It’s only taken 10 years or so for me to find the confidence!” says the self-depreciating singer, who shared stages with Arctic Monkeys members Matt Helders and Alex Turner before the Makers took off. “I subscribe to the fine wine way of thinking – allow things to mature fully before enjoying. Nobody wants to be Lambrusco!” ‘If’ distils a lifetime of longing and loss, of dreams Vs. desires, into three mesmerising minutes of tremolo-rich, strings-soaked melody. Plangent chord progressions and mournful tones pair with poetic reflections on life’s twists and turns. Shades of The Beatles, Echo & The Bunnymen and Richard Hawley snake in and out. Emotions take over as Ed opens up fully for the first time. Drawing on Ed’s personal experience, he says of ‘If’ “Its a love-lorn tale of the struggle between true love’s path and the path which you think you’re destined to follow. It’s about the conflict between what you think you want, where you unwittingly lead yourself and ultimately where you should really be.” “After several attempts, it became the song that sent me in the right direction. With a lot of albums, it takes one song to kick things off and this was that moment for me. It set out the stall for who I wanted to be as an artist with its strong sense of emotion and the journey that run sthrough it.” ‘If’ was produced by Dave Sanderson, recorded at Giant Wafer studios in Wales at the tail end of 2018 and finally the man from Sheffield’s musical shadows can relish the start his solo career. “People ask why I waited so long, but there was no masterplan,” says Ed. “The time had to feel right. I found my voice along with an inner confidence and suddenly the itch was too much not to scratch. Once I’d started, I scratched like there was no tomorrow.” Artist Ed Cosens Genre Rock And Pop Label Distiller Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Running On Empty If The River Last to Know Fortunes Favour Madeleine Lovers Blues On the Run The Pantomime Come on In Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Various Artists Hanukkah + Rock And Pop | Verve | 1LP Released 13th December 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Hanukkah + £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Verve SKU: 0842515 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aerosmith Baying At The Moon Rock And Pop | Rock Classics | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th May 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aerosmith Baying At The Moon £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rock Classics SKU: RCV133LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Temples Volcano Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th February 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Temples Volcano £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP135 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peals Walking Field Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th April 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peals Walking Field £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL335LPX Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barry Gibb In The Now Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th October 2016 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barry Gibb In The Now £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985328341 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Goldfrapp Tales Of Us: Box Set Rock And Pop | Mute | Box Set Released 2nd December 2013 £80.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goldfrapp Tales Of Us: Box Set £80.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: BXSTUMM356 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 2nd December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mahavishnu Orchestra Whiskey A-Go-Go 27th March 1972 Jazz | Klondike | 2LP Released 11th September 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mahavishnu Orchestra Whiskey A-Go-Go 27th March 1972 £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Klondike SKU: KL2LP5006 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steely Dan Katy Lied UHQR (45rpm 200g Clarity Vinyl) Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 200g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Release Date TBC £200.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Steely Dan Katy Lied UHQR (45rpm 200g Clarity Vinyl) £200.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AUHQR 0012-45 Formats: 200g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spider King Shot To Pieces Rock And Pop | Finders Keepers | 180g, 1LP Released 12th February 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spider King Shot To Pieces £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Finders Keepers SKU: CACHE015LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oliver Tree Cowboy Tears Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Oliver Tree Cowboy Tears £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
