# Download a new Damon Albarn produced Bobby Womack tune
Are we witnessing a new label being established at **XL Recordings**? It
seems just as if when dealing with ***The Bravest Man in the
Universe***, the upcoming comeback album by soul legend **Bobby
Womack**, (co-) produced by XL label head **Richard Russell** as well as
**Blur** and **Gorillaz** main man **[Damon Albarn][1]**.
The new album will be released on June 11 2012, Womack and XL revealed
the first track 'Please Forgive My Heart' yesterday afternoon. We've
been pretty excited about this as you might tell:
> Stop what you're doing & listen to @[realBobbyWomack][2]'s new
> song 'Please Forgive My Heart' NOW
> [widgets.beggarspromo.com/pleaseforgivem...][3] @[xlrecordings][4]
> [#DamonAlbarn][5]

After having [collaborated with Albarn in 2010 on the Gorillaz single
'Stylo'][7] (together with **Mos Def**) and on [last year's **DRC
Music** album][8], the two now joined forces again. Damon Albarn's
contribution to the project being obviously his amazing pop talents and
his goodwill as a producer and pop mastermind. Just as XL Recordings'
2010 collaboration between spoken word poet [**Gil-Scott Heron** and
**Jamie xx**][9], the newish liaison sees a nearly forgotten music
legend returning on Russell's alt-label side by side with an unburnt
musician.
"*I think it sounds like a very modern soul record*", Richard Russell
recently explained in an [interview][10]{: target="_blank"} with
Billboard Magazine, stating that Womack's voice is amazing and "*if
people have been listening to things like Frank Ocean and the Weeknd
(then they'll like it)*".
Expect more news to arise in the next weeks, a first Bobby Womack live
show in Houston, Texas has already been confirmed for tomorrow, we'll
probably know more after the weekend. Now listen to and download 'Please
Forgive My Heart' and look forward to June.
