LP - Limited Edition Pink Vinyl. “I love the idea of something being so romantic that it almost hurts,” says C (for Chris) Duncan of the music he adores. Glasgow’s classically trained multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter honours that idea with tremendous reserves of panache and feeling on his fifth album, It’s Only a Love Song, released through Bella Union on 24th January 2024.Flushed with swooning strings, enraptured images, classicist melodies and dreamy harmonies, it’s a record of orchestral pop romanticism at its most sublime: one from the heart, warmed by a deep ache of constant yearning.Previously, on 2022’s Alluvium, Chris had treated his wide-ranging stories as fertile soil for a record of multi-stranded tones and styles.

There is more of a theme – it’s a highly romantic record, which then goes from that into dealing with the loss of friends and relatives.”Written first, the title-track – “A love song about love songs,” he says – and the old-Hollywood-style closer ‘Time and Again’ set parameters for the record’s themes, moods and tones. ‘It’s Only a Love Song’ unfurls from a piano overture with pillowy grace, before a buoyant melody lifts the chorus into a paean to unquenchable, unresolved desire. Written for Chris’s husband, ‘Lucky Today’ follows in transporting style, its elevating strings and harmonies framing a lyric about standing on a
