Record Of The Week: Guy Sebastian, ‘T.R.U.T.H.’

Guy Sebastian‘s ninth album release, T.R.U.T.H., arrived surrounded by accolades last week.

The LP’s second single ‘Choir’ became his biggest radio single to date.  It also picked up multiple ARIA Awards last year, including the coveted Song of the Year ARIA and is certified 3x Platinum. Sebastian later scored another Top 10 ARIA hit with the album’s fourth single ‘Standing With You’, which has now been certified Gold.

Written during various sessions with songwriters in different geographical locations, and pieced together across a two-and-a-half-year period, T.R.U.T.H. is another stellar release from one of the hardest working artists in the game.

“I know who I am and I’m unashamed as well,” Guy said of the album. “I’m not trying to be something that I’m not.”

“It feels almost impossible to imagine that it’s been 17 years since we were first introduced to the majesty of Guy Sebastian, with his career swiftly becoming one of the most consistent and remarkable in recent memory,

“Now, with T.R.U.T.H. serving as Guy’s ninth album, it sounds as though we’re once again witnessing the start of something beautiful, with his soulful, powerful sound proving it is not only as mesmerising as ever, but that there is truly no stopping a stunning artist such as Guy Sebastian.”
– Tyler Jenke

“Having teased what was in store way back in 2018 with ‘Before I Go’, the long wait was worth it as Guy Sebastian’s new album, T.R.U.T.H., shows just why he is one of Australia’s leading artists. We all know how good of a singer he is, yet Guy is still somehow improving on, well, everything as his soulful ninth studio album demonstrates how he just keeps getting better with each new release.”
– Alexander Pan

Guy Sebastian has sold almost four million albums to date and is the only Australian artist in ARIA chart history to boast six #1 singles – the most by any Australian male artists in ARIA history and two #1 albums.

Sebastian announced a 2021 national tour earlier this month, marking Sebastian’s first tour since 2019’s ‘Ridin’ With You’ tour. His new tour will take in 12 spots around Australia, starting in Newcastle on Thursday, November 4th, 2021. It will close in Townsville on Wednesday, December 1st, 2021.
