When Rivers Meet Announce ‘Addicted To You’ New Album
Acclaimed British duo When Rivers Meet will release their fourth studio album, entitled Addicted To You, on May 23rd, on One Road Records. Recorded in The Boathouse Studio, Suffolk and produced and mixed by Adam Bowers, it dramatically expands the band’s signature blues-rock sound, bringing an array of new sonic textures and an atmospheric production which showcases the dynamic music crafted by When Rivers Meet.
Lead single and title track, ‘Addicted To You’, kicks off the album riding in on an insistent guitar riff with Grace and Aaron Bond’s double vocals kick in. A catchy and memorable rock classic, the official video finds the husband-and-wife dual vocalists sharing the limelight.
The hypnotic groove features blues rock duo When Rivers Meet doing what they do best–creating a sound that’s both rocking and a bit experimental. The new lead single has an almost dream-like sequence after these two nail it with big vocals, drums, a tight rhythm section and groove.

Album tracks such as the outstanding ‘Coming Up For Air’, with its evocative soundscape and subtle piano signatures demonstrate how When Rivers Meet have grown on this release. The swampy, sliding blues of ‘Still Standing’ boasts a huge singalong chorus, while ‘Preacher’ is oozing with dirty, funk hooks and Grace’s impassioned vocal lead, declaring a state of independence.
Elsewhere the moving ballad ‘Tree Of Life’, ‘70s stomp of ‘Break Free’, the skittery KT Tunstall-vibes of ‘Never Change’ and the soaring folk-rock epic of ‘Don’t Wanna Fight’, showcase an album of depth, experience and musical dexterity which will delight existing fans and entrance new listeners to the band.
On ‘Soft White Sand’ the pair take aim at the jealous comments, music industry bullshit and negative jibes they’ve heard over the years as they’ve forged their own, independent path forwards gaining an Official Albums Charts UK Top 10 album with their last release ‘Aces Are High’, as a result of having built their own, fervent fanbase.
And they pay tribute to those fans, The Rapids, with the self-titled closing number ‘When Rivers Meet’, stating, “Your energy and passion lift us up, just like rapids shaping the course of a river. This song is our way of honouring the powerful connection we share with you.”
