Norfolk based folk singer-songwriter Ervin Munir is to release his third studio album, “When I Think,” on 6th February. The 11-track collection marks another strong step forward for Ervin and it brings together emotional piano melodies, gripping storytelling and unexpected musical turns.
From the opening notes of “Lifeline” to the closing track “Live And Learn,” the album refuses to sit still. Ervin takes listeners on an adventure through intimate, nail-biting lyrics that feel like conversations you might have with yourself at 2am. The album has a raw quality too that cuts through, backed by arrangements that shift from stripped-back folk to moments where the guitars kick in with a rocky edge.
The title track, “When I Think,” will be accompanied by an animated video, giving visual life to one of the album’s most personal moments. It’s a song that sits at the heart of what Ervin does best: making you feel something real.
Standout tracks like “Rainfall Memories,” “I Don’t Care” and “One Step Beyond” reveal the breadth of what Ervin brings to this record and each song feels necessary, like it had to be written and shared.
This album also carries a deeper emotional resonance behind the scenes. “When I Think” is dedicated to the late Aeron Z Jones, Ervin’s long-term producer and close friend, who sadly passed away recently. Aeron played a pivotal role in shaping Munir’s sound across his previous releases. Also, his influence is felt throughout the record. The dedication serves not only as a tribute to their creative partnership, but to the friendship and spirit that helped bring these songs to life.
The digital album drops on 6th February, with CD and vinyl formats to follow. Fans can pre-order the digital release starting 30th January.
