Newton Faulkner’s eighth studio album, OCTOPUS, marks a bold new chapter for the multi
platinum selling singer-songwriter - his most authentic and adventurous to date. Over five
years in the making, the album sees Faulkner stepping into a new era with a refreshed sense
of artistic freedom, blending unexpected influences from funk and R&B to soul and Latin
grooves. Swapping his trademark acoustic guitar for a distortion-charged Hofner Violin Bass,
he unlocks a fresh songwriting approach that fuels standout tracks like the anthemic lead
single “Alright, Alright, Alright.” Rich in collaboration, OCTOPUS features contributions from
Lissie, Los Bitchos and Bloom Twins, bringing new textures to his sound. It’s a record that
celebrates creative reinvention, grounded by moments of heartfelt reflection and driven by
a renewed passion for making music.
