The Heavy Release Brand New Single “Without A Woman”

The Heavy have released the brand new song “Without A Woman,” the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album AMEN, out April 21.

“Without A Woman” is a soul-drenched celebration of women around the world. The empowering anthem closes AMEN with imposing powerful horns, funky rhythmic guitar and drums alongside a stunning wall of compassionate vocals from the gospel choir and frontman Kelvin Swaby.

Regarding the single Kelvin says, “It's astounding that right now in the 2020s, an age-old and point-blank ignorance remains. It is being given oxygen every day in way too many corners of the world. It’s unbelievable. Women should receive the acknowledgment, value, and respect that they absolutely deserve. I know I definitely wouldn’t be here without a woman. Would you?”

“Without A Woman” follows the release of “Stone Cold Killer,” “I Feel The Love” and “Hurricane Coming,” all taken from AMEN. The singles have received critical praise from the likes of The Independent, Louder, Afropunk, American Songwriter, 1883 Magazine among many others. “I Feel The Love” was recently the #1 most added single for AAA US commercial radio and “Hurricane Coming” was featured on the soundtrack for the Six Nations rugby. 

The Heavy’s sixth album AMEN was recorded at Rockfield Studios, produced with Tchad Blake (The Black Keys, U2) and engineered with Real World Studios’ Joe Jones. It writhes with seditious blues drama, soul and gospel passion, the crunch of prime hip-hop and garage punk’s visceral electricity.

The response to The Heavy’s return has been ecstatic. The band debuted songs from the album live to fans at their sold-out UK shows earlier this month which led The Sun to hail “a triumphant return” for The Heavy.

Following the album release the band will be touring the US in May including a sold out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and Elsewhere in Brooklyn. Tickets are on sale now via www.theheavy.co.uk and full tour dates are listed below:
