Christian Lee Hutson has shared a new track, ‘Cherry’.

The song is taken from his new album, ‘Quitters’, which is set for release on 1st April.

Hutson explains of the track: “I wanted to describe that part of growing up in Los Angeles, having a cool older friend who will drive you speeding and have you jump out on the roof of the car.”

‘Quitters’ follows on from 2020’s album ‘Beginners’, and was produced by Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst.

“When we made ‘Beginners’ the aim was to make simple digital recordings of how I would play the songs in the room,” Hutson reveals. “With this record, Phoebe and Conor had an idea that it would be fun to make it to tape. Phoebe is my best friend and making ‘Beginners’ with her was so comfortable and easy. So I wanted to work with her again.”

“I took a long time with ‘Beginners’,” Hutson adds. “I had those songs for 10 years, but these songs came out a lot faster.” Because the songs from ‘Quitters’ were written in a shorter time, “there was a little bit of insecurity with the lyrics. Having Conor there served the purpose of someone who I really respect as a lyricist and could soothe my anxiety.”
