The debut of Ziggy Alberts’ next album chapter is on the near horizon, with the award-winning songwriter, performer and author announcing his new studio record ‘NEW LOVE’ arriving 21st February 2025. Capping off a busy and fruitful year for Ziggy, the release of ‘NEW LOVE’ lands as a bright and heart-led offering from the globetrotting musician.
Today, Ziggy shares a new single from the album, in the introspective track Where Does The Love Go? Following on from tracks this year including Outlaw, and New Love, this new offering from Ziggy brings together his signature acoustic warmth, with an insightful perspective on the importance of self-love and awareness, so that we may be able to care for ourselves, as well as one another.
Recorded with Garrett Kato, who Ziggy co-produced the whole ‘NEW LOVE’ album with, as well as Ziggy’s ARIA Gold-Certified album ‘Laps Around The Sun’, Where Does The Love Go? is a perfect addition to the string of releases that have begun to paint a beautiful portrait of the album so far.
Says Ziggy of his latest track, “It’s a song I wrote about wondering where does the love go, when it’s not us? It’s a question I was asking myself when I was feeling a lack of self-love. Now that I’ve thought about it more, I think love disappears unless we embody it. And it is the responsibility of humanity, wherever possible, to keep it alive.”
Sonically, Where Does The Love Go? takes inspiration from artists including Jose Gonzalez, Nick Mulvey and The 1975. Fleshing out these influences, coupled with his own beloved sense of songwriting, Where Does The Love Go? has proven to already be a fan favourite, with Ziggy rolling the single out as part of his current ‘New Love’ World Tour that kicked off in June 2024.
Accompanying the release of Where Does The Love Go? is a special set of visuals, captured in London by DOP Charlie Bristow. Filmed during Ziggy’s UK leg of the ‘New Love’ World Tour, the video uses motion blur effect with artist-central focal point to amplify the introspective lyrics of the track.
To date, his artistry has produced an ARIA Double Platinum-Certified record in ‘Laps Around The Sun’, as well as multiple ARIA Platinum-Certified singles in Gone, Runaway, Heaven, Stronger, Love Me Now, Simple Things and Days In The Sun, and his EP ‘Four Feet In The Forest’.
The release of Outlaw and New Love alone have drawn strong support from Australian and international radio alike; with outlets including ABC Radio, Double J, BBC Radio, Radio Disney, 1XX Whakatane, Oygene FM and others championing the music early. Globally, Outlaw has accrued over 1.82 million streams across DSPs, while New Love currently sits at 3.89 million streams across DSPs and counting.
As fans can now get excited for the release of ‘NEW LOVE’, they have plenty of Ziggy Alberts goodness to look forward to, as his world tour continues through North America, Mexico and Japan, as we head further into the second half of 2024. While Ziggy’s North American and Mexico shows will see him performing in a headline capacity, he will travel to Japan for the first time, supporting Donavon Frankenreiter across three shows this October and November – TICKETS / DETAILS HERE.
