Vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release. Living Arrows is Chesney at his most vulnerable, completely free of inhibitions or doubts. There is heartache, yes, but there is joy, too, and gratitude for everything he has in life. Combined with his heartfelt, candid style of songwriting, the album's cohesive pop-rock sound creates what is not only his greatest work to date, but also the most authentic representation of the man behind the artist. The album takes it's name from 'On Children', a poem by the Lebanese-American writer, poet and artist Kahlil Gibran, which addresses the importance of nurturing children while also accepting that their independence has to be a parent's ultimate priority. The 'Living Arrows' album was produced and co-written by the BRIT Award winner and Grammy nominee Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, One Direction). The friendship between the pair is a big element of the album's success: it's a connection that allows Chesney to face the tougher emotions that he explores in some of it's songs, but also to enjoy the unbridled fun that he channels in others. It's buoyant spirit was further elevated by guest appearances from friends including Nik Kershaw and Chesney's brother Jodie.
