Sophie B. Hawkins, has announced her first UK headline performance in almost two decades, set for Sunday, November 26 at London’s The Forge (3-7 Delancey Street, Camden Town, NW1 7NL). The upcoming date marks the first international date on Hawkins’ Free Myself Tour, an ongoing headline run celebrating her acclaimed sixth studio album, Free Myself.
The first album released in over a decade, Free Myself finds the beloved songwriter, who enjoyed two of the biggest hits of the ‘90s with iconic singles “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” and “As I Lay Me Down”, at the top of her game, sharing some of her most soul-stirring songs about love, resilience, and self-empowerment. Widely praised by fans and the music media, Free Myself is considered a welcome return for Hawkins. With a spotlight on the album’s “Love Yourself,” both song and video have earned a place as an iconic anthem in the songwriter’s hugely impressive canon of songs shedding light on pressing issues. Described as “soul-stirring…symphonic pop whimsy,” by American Songwriter, highlighted as one of the “best (new) releases by NPR Music, alongside fellow standout track, “You Are My Balloon,” (NPR Song of the Week) and Forbes’ praising the video’s simplicity as reflecting the “self-care nature of the song,” “Love Yourself” is a live crowd pleaser.
With the eagerly awaited headline performance, Hawkins noted, “I made Whaler, my second album, while living in London. It ended up my most successful record and it saved my career.” Hawkins added, “I haven’t played London since 2005 so it’s going to be great being back, like going home.”
