Ex-Enid frontman, Joe Payne<\/strong> relaunches as soloist That Joe Payne, announced direct from his website, published Friday 1st December 2017. He states, After months of hard work, writing and recording, I am delighted to announce my return to music after a long and much needed rest.? Referencing to his updated name, Payne explains If you\u2019re wondering where that came from? It\u2019s a reminder to myself never to allow my anxiety to break me again.?<\/p>\n

Payne is best known for his work as frontman of progressive rock outfit, The Enid<\/strong> (2011-2016). In April 2016, shortly after the release of their last album, Dust, Payne fell ill with depression and anxiety. Unable to work, he officially announced his departure from The Enid<\/strong> in September 2016. His personal achievements include being voted Best Male Vocalist for two years running in the Prog Magazine Readers? Poll (2014 & 2015) and three Progressive Music Award Nominations.<\/p>\n

The singer songwriter has launched pre-sales for his debut single, ?I Need a Change via his online shop. He describes the song as the most heartfelt thing I\u2019ve ever done and ?8 minutes and 23 seconds of pure unadulterated me.?
\nThe music, written and arranged entirely by Payne, was brought to life in the studio with the help of three other recently retired Enid members; Max Read<\/strong> (singer and producer), Nic Willes<\/strong> (drums and bass) and Duncan McLaughlan<\/strong> (guitar). Artwork and typography have also been credited to Louis Sidis<\/strong> and Martin Kielty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The record will be released in sync with the artist\u2019s first live performance in almost 2 years. A re-launch show in his hometown of Northampton, at a converted cinema called The Picturedrome. Payne tells his followers he\u2019ll be performing the best of my back catalogue for this one-off event, including songs from The Enid and other collaborations.
