Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan Hamilton has unveiled details for his next studio album ‚Haunted By The Holy Ghost,‘ set for release on March 10 via Wicked Cool Records.

The title track is now streaming here: orcd.co/hauntedsingle and follows the release of previous album tracks „Paper Planes“ and „On The Edge

Of the song, Hamilton says, „I grew up in a VERY conservative Church of Christ. We used to go to church 3 times a week. There are parts of that upbringing that I will never shake. The „fear of God“ is ingrained in me, & will seemingly be a part of me forever. Like a ghost, haunting me. This song is about that.“

Hamilton closed out 2019 by opening for Jesse Malin (featuring Lucinda Williams) at the Bowery Ballroom, NYC. Hamilton’s first album for Wicked Cool, ‘This Is The Sound,’ was released May 2019 (winning in the ‚Independent Music Awards ‘Album of the Year’ category), with the follow-up ‘Nowhere To Go But Everywhere’ coming in 2020. This album appeared on multiple Top 10 Official Charts in the UK as well as a number of ‘Albums of the Year’ polls.

2020 also saw the release of Hamilton’s chart-topping solo EP ‘Incommunicado’, following shortly after his ‘Songs and Stories’ solo acoustic tour of the UK, just before the pandemic hit.

His next album ‘1221’ was released in November 2021 and went straight into the Top 10 Indie Albums on the Official Charts (U.K.). ‚1221‘ is also the very first Wicked Cool release to be selected as an Official Record Store Day title, the exclusive vinyl edition released in April 2022.
