2026 is gathering momentum for musician Craig Payne with a new album very much in the bag.
While a release date is yet to be decided the new album definitely ticks all of the boxes as far as originality and production goes; it is just so different and stronger than anything Craig has done in the past.
The album has been in production for pretty much the past year following the release of 'Born Again' in January 2025 and before the October 2025 album 'Passing Shadows' which was an album recorded 9 years prior to its release but considered too weird for release in 2016. To be honest it's still weird but worth a listen.
Work has started on producing some music videos to accompany the new albums release in conjunction with a robust promotion campaign prior to, during and after the albums release date.
A Canadian company has been chosen to drive the online streaming campaign and other mediums are being considered for a wider reach across other social media platforms.
A definite release date will be announced soon once the final loose ends are taken care of.
