Luke Hemmings - When Facing The Things We Turn Away From

When Facing The Things We Turn Away From is the debut solo studio album by Australian singer songwriter Luke Hemmings, released in August 2021 via Sony Music.

Luke Hemmings is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of ARIA and Billboard #1 charting, ARIA, AMA and Billboard Award winning, band 5SOS (5 Seconds Of Summer).

This debut solo album marks a distinct journey for Luke.

Written and recorded after an enforced period of “staying home” in 2020, "When Facing The Things We Turn Away From" sees Luke channel all his creative energy and passion for song-writing into a solo record for the first time.

Luke has worked with producer and songwriter Sammy Witte (King Princess, Maggie Rogers, Harry Styles) on this project, and the album gives a nod to influences as diverse as War On Drugs, Bon Iver, M83, Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young.

Luke has co-written some of 5SOS’s biggest hits including ‘Youngblood,’ ‘Teeth,’ ‘Want You Back’ and ‘Lie To Me.’

This album is on black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via Sony Music.
