Addicted To You will be the fourth studio album from When Rivers Meet. Set for release on 23 May 2025 via One Road Records, the album promises to dramatically expand the band’s signature blues-rock sound.
The title track, Addicted To You, is the lead single, with the Grace and Aaron Bond double vocals verses leading the building to an epic live singalong chorus. This track is something that builds and is a great new showcase of the magnetic dynamic that sets them apart.
Recorded in The Boathouse Studio, Suffolk and produced and mixed by Adam Bowers, the new album promotes an incredible array of new sonic textures in an atmospheric and intriguing production which showcases the ambitious and dynamic music When Rivers Meet has crafted.
Album highlights include the evocative Coming Up For Air and the swampy singalong Still Standing. Both of these are great pointers to the growth of When Rivers Meet.
Preacher brims with dirty funk hooks and Grace’s impassioned vocals, while Tree of Life, Break Free, Never Change, and Don’t Wanna Fight display the band’s depth and musical dexterity.
Soft White Sand fires back at industry negativity, reflecting their independent rise to a UK Top 10 album. Closing with their self-titled song, When Rivers Meet, they honour their fans, The Rapids, celebrating their shared journey.
“Your energy and passion lift us up,” Grace and Aaron say, “just like rapids shaping the course of a river. This song is our way of honouring the powerful connection we share with you.”
When Rivers Meet – The Freedom Of Being Independent
MetalTalk caught up with Aaron Bond last year where we felt that that was merely the first couple of miles into a very long and fruitful journey.
They have the drive, the ambition, and the talent to make that creativity go a long way. And being independent gives them freedom, too.
“This is one of the greatest things about being independent,” Aaron said, “because we can choose what we want to choose, and then we all work together. In this business, that means a lot because we’re all promoting each other and everything like that.”
When Rivers Meet will support legendary Blue Öyster Cult at The London Palladium on 25 May 2025. They also play four very special and intimate headline shows in May.
Addicted To You can be pre-ordered from the band’s website.
