Westerman shares title track from upcoming album ‘Your Hero Is Not Dead’

His debut album is set to land on 5th June via Play It Again Sam.

Following the release of ‘Waiting On Design’ earlier this month, Westerman is revealing the title track from his forthcoming debut album ‘Your Hero Is Not Dead’.

A soothing new’un, Westerman explains of the song’s origins, “This was the last song I wrote for the whole record, but I had the title for the album before any of the music was formed. I remember I wrote it on the day that Mark Hollis died. He’s probably as close to a musical hero as I have. The song isn’t about him or Talk Talk necessarily, but when he died I wanted to put myself to task and respond to the sadness I was feeling at that moment.”
