Damien Rice shares ‘I Don’t Want To Change You’ single

Damien Rice is streaming ‘I Don’t Want to Change You’, the lead single to be taken from his forthcoming comeback LP ‘My Favourite Faded Fantasy’.

With the follow-up to ‘9’ due out 3rd November, this sweet and devilishly intimate new track gained its first play on Zane Lowe last night. It links up with the record’s title-track, which was unveiled a couple of weeks back.

‘My Favourite Faded Fantasy’ comes produced by Rick Rubin, initially in Los Angeles and then in Iceland. “I came to Rick mostly based on what I didn’t know about him, rather than what I did,” says Rice. “For some reason I just had a feeling that I would feel comfortable being open and being me and being vulnerable with Rick.”

‘I Don’t Want to Change You’ is out 31st October - pre-order here.

Damien Rice plays London Palladium on 7th November.
