Richard Russell’s Everything Is Recorded returns with Temporary, an album set for release on February 28, 2025, via XL Recordings. This third studio effort is a collaboration, including artists like Sampha, Florence Welch, Noah Cyrus, Kamasi Washington and many more.
To celebrate the album’s announcement, Everything Is Recorded releases the second single to be taken from the album, “Losing You” on their official YouTube channel today.
Crafted over four years in locations as varied as west London and Los Angeles, Temporary marks a shift in Russell’s musical approach. Known for his rhythmic foundations, this time he lets melody take the spotlight, exploring a sonic “what if”—imagining folk music evolving digitally in the ’80s, much like reggae once did.
Each track is a reflection Russell’s intention to honor life, even in its fragility. “Making the album was joyous, a way of hallowing life,” he shares. Temporary invites listeners to pause, reflect and find beauty in quiet moments.
