"a veritable force of British indie Pop" - DIY “Templeman's songs max on melody ... he has to be one to watch closely” - Sunday Times Culture “a soon to be international rising star” - British Vogue Ahead of his maiden North American headline tour this month, including support shows with fellow rising star Chloe Moriondo, the 18 year old breakout sensation Alfie Templeman has shared his brand new single “3D Feelings” and video on Chess Club Records/AWAL today. The single launched as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1; Templeman’s fifth consecutive Hottest Record. Today, Alfie Templeman also revealed the routing for his first ever European tour dates next March, with support from the Slovakian artist Karin Ann. Ever since releasing his first single “Like An Animal” in 2018, Alfie Templeman has, with every thrilling move, cemented his position as the teenage icon of his generation. Combining indie-boy-next-door aesthetics with a peerless musicianship - entirely self-taught, he plays no less than ten instruments and also contributes heavily to production on his still-TBA next project - Templeman pushes boundaries like no other teenager. His love of universe building, both aesthetically and musically, shone through on 2021 debut mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough and burns ever more brightly with “3D Feelings” and its accompanying visuals. Fresh, bold, youthful and inventive. Alfie Templeman sees an increasingly grey world in vibrant technicolour. Produced with Will Bloomfield and Vaccines’ frontman Justin Young, “3D Feelings” explores self-reflection, emotional attachment and the multitude of feelings in response to that. Speaking about the new single, which is also the trio’s first collaboration since the effervescent “Happiness In Liquid Form”, Templeman explains: “3D Feelings” is about being reminded of your past self in different ways. Whether it’s objects or people, these are all things we feel a deja vu experience from. We get reminded of feelings we once felt through them, and those feelings just hit you and can’t be controlled. It can be a comforting experience, or a painful one, but either way it takes you back immediately to that feeling you once felt and that can be so powerful.” He continues: “The song came together so quickly as a fun jam between Will & I, the opening guitar lick was made up on the spot after we found a really nice chord progression for me to solo over. Justin then inspired me to write some really cool lyrics for this one, they flow so effortlessly and they’re really fun to sing.” *** Debut mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough followed Templeman’s quartet of ardently received EPs - 2018’s Like An Animal, 2019’s Sunday Morning Cereal and Don’t Go Wasting Time, and 2020’s Happiness In Liquid Form - in introducing the world to a prodigiously talented young musician, songwriter, producer and performer. With well over 100,000,000 streams under his belt already, Templeman's global appeal is reaching fever pitch. Every single from Forever Isn't Long Enough landed in the Music Moves Europe Talent Chart, with three singles featuring in the Top 20 concurrently at one stage. Templeman headlines his biggest UK show ever on 16 March 2022 at Shepherds Bush Empire, the apex of a first full tour which includes long-since sold-out shows in Manchester, Bristol and Brighton. Chess Club labelmate Pixey has also just been confirmed as the support act for that run of shows, too. Racking up in excess of 137,000,000 radio impacts in the United Kingdom alone - fuelled by the longstanding support of national networks BBC Radio 1 (where he has been daytime playlisted four times already in his burgeoning career), BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Virgin, and Absolute - Templeman has firmly established himself alongside the most exciting (and the most established) names in British music. A spot on the 2021 BBC Sound Of and in the BBC's Brit List initiative earlier this year followed, of course, along with further 2021 tip lists with Radio X, Vevo, Amazon and MTV. Templeman’s sensational radio support has been compounded by swathes features and reviews from national tastemakers, including 2021 ‘Ones to watch’ tips from The Independent, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Sunday Mirror and Huffington Post to add to previous accolades from The Observer, The Evening Standard and The Sunday Times.  See Alfie Templeman live in 2021/22: Tickets https://www.alfietempleman.com/live *supporting Chloe Moriondo **with support from Pixey ^with support from Karin Ann Nov 9 | Dürer Kert, Budapest Nov 20 | Corona Capital, Mexico Nov 23 | Bowery Ballroom, New York* (sold out) Nov 24 | Brighton Music Hall, Boston* (sold out) Nov 26 | Velvet Underground, Toronto* (sold out) Nov 28 | Vera Project, Seattle Nov 29 | Holocene, Portland Dec 1 | Rickshaw Stop, San Francisco Dec 3 | The Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles Dec 4 | Voodoo Room, San Diego Mar 2 | The Cluny, Newcastle** Mar 3 | Saint Luke’s, Glasgow** Mar 4| Brudenell Social Club, Leeds** Mar 5 | Gorilla, Manchester** Mar 8 | Leadmill, Sheffield** Mar 9 | Rescue Rooms, Nottingham** Mar 10 | O2 Institute, Birmingham** Mar 11 | Thekla, Bristol** Mar 12 | Patterns, Brighton** Mar 16 | O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London** Mar 18 | The Academy, Dublin** Mar 24 | Le Pop Up!, Paris^ Mar 25 | YUCA, Cologne^ Mar 26 | Paradiso, Amsterdam Mar 28 | VZW Ancienne Belgique, Brussels^ Mar 29 | Molotow, Hamburg^ Mar 30 | Kantine am Berghain, Berlin^ Mar 31 | Kranhalle, Munich^ https://www.alfietempleman.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alfietempleman https://twitter.com/alfietempleman
