After years of waiting, Damien Rice's third studio album, "My Favorite Faded Fantasy", is released. Eight years is a long time. Fans have been in silent mourning and are all the happier that Damien Rice is now back. The new songs are multi-layered, emotional and musically unique, carried by the gentle voice that is Damien Rice's trademark.

Damien Rice initially recorded the studio album "My Favourite Fantasy" in Los Angeles. It was completed in Iceland. It's a bit like holding your breath when fans of a singer like Damien Rice, who tends to be a passionately quiet star, wait for a follow-up album. After the globally successful albums "O" and "9", from which hits were used in numerous films and TV series, everyone has remained loyal to him despite the wait. Now it's time to take a deep breath.

The first videos and singles "My Favourite Faded Fantasy" and "I Don't Want To Change You" already show how much our perseverance and loyalty has paid off. This is and remains recognizably Damien Rice. But it never gets boring, because the new songs each live from their own emotionality.
