Christopher Owens announces new solo album, shares tender single “No

Christopher Owens has announced his first new album in seven years, titled I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair, due for release on October 18th via True Panther. The announcement was accompanied by a new song, “No Good,” which is coupled with an acoustic performance video. Watch it below.

The former Girls singer first previewed I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair with the previously released “I Think About Heaven.” “No Good” shares the vulnerable texture of “I Think About Heaven” but shows Owens in a less optimistic place: “No, not anothеr love song/ Not one more song where I’m pretending everything will be okay/ I died the day you left me,” he sings.

Despite the sadder subject matter of “No Good,” a statement about the forthcoming LP affirms a “renewed sense of purpose” as the driving force behind the project. Owens describes the album as “a record about a journey back to the center of myself.”

Here, Owens is starting a new chapter following a period marked by hardship — following the loss of his Girls bandmate, Chet “JR” White, Owens has also worked to recover from a life-threatening motorcycle accident.

Speaking about I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair, he reveals, “In the second half of the Bible, Jesus asks ‘What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ Lately I’ve found it interesting to ask it in a different way.”
