19 year old breakout sensation Alfie Templeman has today announced his joyous, heavily-anticipated debut album Mellow Moon out 27 May on Chess Club Records/AWAL and shared his brand new single & video ‘Broken’.
‘Broken’ also comes accompanied by a music video directed by Jack Turner and produced by Blood Films. Speaking about the new single, Templeman says: “It’s a bit of an anthem for people my age really, all the wobbles of being a teenager and figuring yourself out. It’s about realising that analysing yourself is an important part of growing up.”
When Alfie Templeman started to work on his long-awaited debut album in early 2020 he could never have predicted the turbulent path that lay ahead for both him personally and the rest of the world. Two years later and the young prodigy has emerged with Mellow Moon; an album that feels like something of a miracle, landing somewhere between an otherworldly trip and a joy-filled ode to life back on earth. As Templeman, himself, puts it; “It feels like I’m on a different planet. I’ve gone somewhere new and I’m discovering fire for the first time.” Across 14 tracks Templeman closes his eyes and imagines another world, one where he’s at ease and not distracted by life’s many challenges.
Alfie Templeman will embark on a UK headline tour next month – with support from labelmate Pixey – which includes long-since sold-out shows in Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, and his biggest UK show to date at the capital’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
Only releasing his debut single ‘Like An Animal’ in 2018, Alfie Templeman has, with every thrilling move ever since, now fully cemented his position as the teenage icon of his generation. Combining indie-boy-next-door aesthetics with peerless musicianship – entirely self-taught, he plays no less than eleven instruments (recently taking up the flute) and also contributes heavily with production and co-production duties on Mellow Moon – Templeman pushes boundaries like no other teenager. His love of universe building, both aesthetically and musically, shone through on 2021 debut mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough and continues to burn effervescently with Mellow Moon and all its accompanying visuals. Fresh, bold, youthful and inventive. Alfie Templeman sees an increasingly grey world in vibrant technicolour.
With well over 120,000,000 streams worldwide and a hit tour supporting Chloe Moriondo in North America under his belt already, Alfie Templeman’s global appeal is reaching fever pitch. He has racked up in excess of 150,000,000 radio impacts in the United Kingdom alone; fuelled by the longstanding support of national networks BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Virgin, Absolute, and Apple Music 1. A spot on the 2021 BBC Sound Of poll, and subsequently in the BBC’s Brit List initiative, along with further tip lists with Radio X, Vevo, Amazon and MTV. Features and reviews have followed from national press tastemakers, including ‘Ones to watch’ tips from The Independent, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Sunday Mirror and Huffington Post, to add to previous accolades from The Observer, The Evening Standard and The Sunday Times.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
