It’s been over 50 years since Van Morrison first came to attention, and still, no one comes close to his free-wheeling blend of blues, R&B, jazz and soul. Now building towards the May 7th release of his 42nd studio album, the 28-track ‘Latest Record Project Volume 1’, Van Morrison releases the new track ‘Love Should Come With A Warning’.

Rich with warm exemplary musicianship, ‘Love Should Come With A Warning’ features lyrics written by the great Don Black.

‘Love Should Come WIth A Warning’ is the latest track to be released ahead of ‘Latest Record Project: Volume 1’. Its lead single ‘Only A Song’ was playlisted and named Record of the Week at Radio 2 and gained further radio support at Jazz FM. The album has been further previewed with the release of its title track.

The album spans everything from the saxophone-led R&B gem ‘Jealousy’ to the joyful, country-tinged ‘A Few Bars Early’ via the spirited Them-style garage rock of the self-explanatory ‘Stop Bitching, Do Something’. While it touches upon the romantic sentiment and late-night warmth that people love Van Morrison for, the overriding theme is a straight-talking commentary on contemporary life.

It will be released on double-CD, deluxe-CD, triple-vinyl and digital formats. All pre-orders will receive instant downloads of the tracks ‘Love Should Come With A Warning’, ‘Only A Song’ and ‘Latest Record Project’.

Van Morrison will mark the album’s release by playing his first-ever virtual performance on May 8th. He will perform a live stream event from the renowned Real World Studios in Wiltshire that will see him debut some brand new songs alongside a selection of classic tracks.

The event is a partnership with nugs.net, the leading music platform for live concert streams and recordings. The platform hosts live streams and professionally recorded archive concerts from iconic artists.
