David Ramirez

Austin, TX-based artist David Ramirez has announced a forthcoming new album, My Love Is A Hurricane, set to release July 17 via Sweetworld Records / Thirty Tigers. For the introspective 10-song set, Ramirez teamed up with Dallas producer Jason Burt — who recently collaborated with Leon Bridges and John Mayer on their new single "Inside Friend" and has worked with artists such as Sarah Jaffe and Paul Cauthen as well — to layer his widely acclaimed vocals atop "misty psychedelic undertones and potent gospel arrangements" (NPR Music). Originally meant to be a collection of love songs dedicated to Ramirez's partner, the resulting set instead charts the tumultuous journey of falling in and out of love through piano ballads, moody synths, and heavy R&B influences. My Love Is A Hurricane, Ramirez’s fifth full-length record and eighth collection of songs, follows 2017’s We’re Not Going Anywhere, which reflected on life in contemporary America through the lens of his own Mexican heritage with a sound influenced by ‘80s bands like The Cars and Journey. The soundscapes utilized on My Love Is A Hurricane are unlike those of any recording he has previously crafted, but at the heart of the record remains the same “powerful voice and perceptive pen” (Austin Chronicle).
