PREMIERE: Geoffrey O’Connor’s I Don’t Want To Be Loved
‘I Love What We Do‘, the upcoming album from Geoffrey O’Connor, is set to be released on Valentine’s Day with the third and final single from the album, I Don’t Want To Be Loved premiering on Breakfast with Pam!
Reflecting on the track, Geoffrey shares “When I’m feeling sad I like to write pretty, cynical songs about the love lives of people I barely know. It’s a good thing that many of them never get released. While this one started off in that fashion, it also ended up having a cautious optimism that I’m happy to unleash into the world.
“It features some beautiful flute work by Hank Clifton-Williamson and superb harmonies by Chloe Sanger”.
‘I Love What We Do’ sees a few sunbeams piercing through Geoffrey’s usually pensive, reflective, adult-oriented pop, “I find rain both exciting and soothing – two very different yet complementary feelings,” he says. “
“Similarly, the title ‘I Love What We Do’ makes me think of both the wild and mundane things lovers do. This all feels appropriate for a collection of songs about small moments that feel big.”
The album features members of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Snowy Band, Good Morning and a duet with the inimitable, Sarah Mary Chadwick.
‘I Love What We Do‘ is out February 14, 2025 via Dinosaur City Records.
