Moby Announces New Album ‘Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt’
Moby has announced his upcoming album Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt, his 15th studio LP.
The new album follows a pair of LPs that Moby recorded with the Void Pacific Choir, 2016’s These Systems Are Failing and 2017’s controversy-stirring More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse. According to Moby, Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt is a return to the gospel and trip-hop style of his earlier works.
The shift is evident on the album’s first single “Like a Motherless Child,” a reworking of the traditional slavery-era song “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.” Moby’s rendition features guest vocalist Raquel Rodriguez.
Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt, due out March 2 on Mute, is available to preorder now. In addition, Moby has constructed Spotify and YouTube playlists featuring artists and songs that inspired his new LP; tracks from the new album will also be uploaded onto the playlists as the release date approaches.
Moby plans on touring in support of his new album in 2018.
