Musician and producer Mark Rae has just dropped "The Place I Call My Home," his debut single from the upcoming multimedia project, New Town Ghosts. This intriguing project, set to release on April 11th, 2025, marries a novel with an album titled New Town Ghosts – Songs from the Novel. Quite the creative venture, isn’t it?
Released on January 17th, "The Place I Call My Home" encapsulates themes of childhood friendship, nature, and the mysteries of growing up. It’s got infectious melodies and whimsical, yet poignant lyrics. The inventive, danceable beats make you feel like you’re stepping right into the pages of the novel.
The track was recorded across the UK, featuring over 40 top-notch musicians. Strings, horns, choir vocals—it’s all there, wrapped in cinematic production, mixed by Erik Miles. Talk about a rich soundscape! This song sets the stage for the album, pulling listeners into a nostalgic journey that’s both heartfelt and immersive.
Rae’s signature innovation shines through, crafting a standalone piece that perfectly introduces the larger New Town Ghosts project. It’s like a sneak peek into a world where music and storytelling intertwine seamlessly.
