In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by British pop icon Chesney Hawkes. Best known for his timeless hit ‘The One and Only’, Chesney talks about the momentum behind his new music — including the Radio 2 A-list success of ‘Get A Hold of Yourself’.
He dives into his new album, Living Arrows, out now. It is a raw and heartfelt collection inspired by Kahlil Gibran’s poem, ‘On Children’. Exploring themes of love, family, and growth, the album pairs candid songwriting with uplifting pop-rock.
We dive deep into the stories behind the songs, as Chesney shares what it was like working with BRIT Award-winning producer Jake Gosling and welcomes contributions from Nik Kershaw and his brother Jodie Hawkes.
