He has released 4 solo albums to date, most recently the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eFrancis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTrouble\u003c\/i\u003e in 2018 which spawned the radio single “Far Away Truths”. In the 4 years, since then, The Strokes released their US Top 10 charting Grammy® nominated rock record \u003ci\u003eThe New Abnormal\u003c\/i\u003e and toured the world extensively. Albert also began the songwriting process for his 5th solo album \u003ci\u003eMelodies on Hiatus\u003c\/i\u003e, a 19-track album, crafted in a most experimental style. Albert teamed up with his writing partner, Canadian songwriter, and poet Simon Wilcox (whom he never met during the process) and had lengthy conversations via the telephone; Simon would jot down notes from Albert’s stream of consciousness, and draft the lyrics on her typewriter, and drop them into his letterbox! Albert then added the lyrics to the melodies he had already crafted. The songwriting process became a long distant “anonymous love affair of ideas and lyrics.” The album covers themes of childhood, surviving adolescence, adulthood, vulnerability, fame, relationship with self and others, and is Albert’s “deconstructed broken down ego reaction” to \u003ci\u003eFrancis Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e. The album also features songs with GoldLink, Matt Helders (of the Arctic Monkeys), Steve Stevens and Rainsford, and was mixed by Tony Hoffer (known for his work with Beck, Air, M83, The Kooks, Fitz and the Tantrums, Metric, Chromeo, etc.) and mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters (Paramore, Spoon, Tame Impala, Jimmy Eat World, Peanut Butter Wolfe)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Bull","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50403595223371,"sku":"2020972","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50403593158987,"sku":"2020969","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50403593650507,"sku":"2020971","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Melodies_on_Hiatus_ddb21f19_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726562136"},{"product_id":"como-te-llama-limited-cd-dvd","title":"Como Te Llama? - Limited Cd \/ Dvd","description":"\u003cp\u003elimited with a bonus live dvd recorded at the bowery ballroom in new york in 2007. while you were waiting for the strokes to get bored of looking cool with no place to go, albert hammond, jr has put together his second solo record at electric lady studios. it's a 13-track affair featuring a string quartet, a little piano from sean lennon on the instrumental 'spooky couch', and, as ever, the sound of guitar strap meeting leather jacket. it also includes one of the best song titles of the year: 'feed me jack or: how i learned to stop worrying and love peter sellers'. on rough trade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50410118316363,"sku":"302331","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0b3f2a42-2661-4ac9-be94-c23e83185fd3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726638030"},{"product_id":"body-of-work-3","title":"Body Of Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlbert Hammond is one of the most prolific, versatile songwriters and performers of his or any generation.
