His music is also a regular feature on many TV shows and in movie soundtracks including HBO’s Looking, Saving Grace, Eastwick, Top Gear, Chilly Dogs, Amreeka and many others too.

Harvey has just released the first single, Skeletons, from his forthcoming album, Human. The record features guest vocalist and songwriter Laura Cole, a rising star in her native Canada who came to Harvey’s attention when she recorded a duet with legendary producer, Daniel Lanois, who produced U2, Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

Laura Cole burst onto the scene in her native Ontario, Canada with the song Papineau, a duet with producer Daniel Lanois, releasing her debut album Dirty Cheat soon after.

She has been a regular feature on radio, TV and other media in Canada and the USA where she is being compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse and Etta James.

Also playing at all of the big music festivals in Canada, she was invited to come and collaborate with Harvey in April last year. She and bass-player partner Chris Chiarcos spent three weeks with him, in that time writing and recording seven songs together and recording her vocals for four others.

This is Harvey’s first solo project since his critically acclaimed album, Jupiter, from 2013.

Harvey said: “I’d like to carry on working with inspiring artists and pursuing other areas of music I’m interested in. This new album is a whole different style to me, compared to Jupiter.
