Teddy Thompson - Heartbreaker Please

'Here's the thing', Teddy Thompson sings frankly on the album, 'you don't love me anymore. I can tell you've got one foot out the door'. From its opening track, 'Heartbreaker Please' reckons with the breakdown of love with a wistful levity as satisfying as it is devastatingly honest. And while the album is drawn from the demise of a real-life relationship, as told from Thompson's perspective, it might also be seen as a projection of his relationship with New York City, the place he has called home for the better part of two decades. A member of the British musical dynasty first helmed by his legendary parents, Linda and Richard Thompson, he left London for the States at 18, settling in New York five years later. 'At the time I was just taking a long vacation that never ended', he says.
