When I know in my heart that I want to? I’ve been putting you down when you aren’t around I’m letting you down every day I’ve been messing around when you’re out of town Why do I keep on running away? I’m a part time lover and I’m never there I find it hard to believe you don’t want it to end I’ll be changing my tune when you walk in the room I’ll be fixing the look on my face I’m gonna get close to you, give my loving to you At least until you’re going away I know that I’m not good I’m never gonna treat you like I should I’ve heard that all of the boys think you’re crazy When I treat you so bad, why do you want me? I’ve heard that all of the girls are starting to hate me For stealing your heart and treating you badly It doesn’t hurt anymore when you walk through the door I forget every word that you said And I can’t put you down when no one else is around And when you’re gone, you’re getting replaced I know that I’m not good I’m never gonna treat you, never gonna treat you like I should I’m a part time lover © Record Kicks Publishing (SIAE) About The Release: The much awaited second album by UK's soul hurricane Hannah Williams produced by Malcolm Catto as heard on Jay-Z's 4:44. Record Kicks proudly presents the new album Late Nights & Heartbreak by Hannah Williams & The Affirmations. The title track Late Nights & Heartbreak has recently gained massive popularity worldwide after that Jay-Z has entirely built around the original composition the title track of his new album 4:44 and has used Hannah's song as a statement of his infidelity, in response to his wife Beyoncé's Lemonade. Late Nights & Heartbreak has been recorded backed by Hannah's new band The Affirmations at Quatermass Studio in London the HQ of the British cult band The Heliocentrics and has been produced by Malcolm Catto, best known for his work with among the others, Mulatu, Orlando Julius, Floating Points, Quantic, Dj Shadow and Madlib. Mixed totally analogue, and mastered on tape, Late Nights & Heartbreak includes 13 tracks of visceral soul with a touch of psychedelic atmosphere - as evidenced by the first single:Tame in The Water. The sound is tighter and punchier than ever before - a trait of the Affirmations which has been brought out in several mind-blowing tracks - like the 8+ minutes of Still in My Head. Which grooves hard throughout, and showcases Hannah up to her most show-stopping moment on the album. Woman Got Soul is another 5 minutes of groovy, addictive proof that this is next-level for Hannah and her band. The albums' grooves are interspersed with deep and layered soul tracks, like Another Sunrise or Your Luck Can Change which act as musical beds upon which Hannah explodes with genuine emotions of love, lust, longing and anger - and everything in between.All the songs are original and come from hands of the Bristol-based collective surrounding The Affirmations. The only exception being a monster psychedelic soul version of Dazed and Confused, which is strongly influenced by the original version by Jake Holmes.
