The new single follows \u201cTears Won\u2019t Lie,\u201d her debut release for Fontana Records, and arrives just as Combe heads into a run of UK and European festival dates this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Combe recorded \u201cLove Was Made Of Stone\u201d with The Coral\u2019s James Skelly at Kempston Studios in Liverpool. \u201cThe song is about years of what was thought to be real love, but something that turns into manipulation and game playing,\u201d Combe explained. \u201cAlmost like that toxic love we\u2019re all aware exists, that you know is no good for you, but you keep holding on with the hope something may change, but it never does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Combe recently played Truck Festival and Tramlines and will spend the rest of the summer on the festival circuit, with stops including Victorious Festival, Boardmasters and Sziget Festival. In the fall, she\u2019ll join Jalen N\u2019gonda for a run of UK and European tour dates, including a show at London\u2019s O2 Academy Brixton on October 28. She\u2019ll also support N\u2019gonda across North America in November and December.<\/p>\n<p>Raised in Dalkeith, just outside Edinburgh, Combe grew up immersed in Motown and soul, and cites a wide range of influences including Leon Bridges, Michael Kiwanuka, and Raye, as well as Jalen N\u2019gonda and Jungle. This eclectic mix shaped her debut album, Dancing At The Edge Of The World, released independently last year. That record built her reputation as a leading voice in a new wave of Northern Soul, earning her high-profile support slots with Lionel Richie in the UK and Benson Boone in North America, plus television appearances on Later\u2026 With Jools Holland and Jimmy Kimmel Live!\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brookecombe.lnk.to\/lovewasmadeofstone?utm_campaign=products&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=udiscovermusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><b>Listen to Brooke Combe\u2019 \u201cLove Was Made Of Stone\u201d here.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottish soul singer Brooke Combe has shared \u201cLove Was Made Of Stone,\u201d the latest preview of her upcoming&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1136151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3936],"tags":[308923,77,151033,308924,269,96739,16,15],"class_list":["post-1136150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-brooke-combe","tag-entertainment","tag-homepage-featured","tag-love-was-made-of-stone","tag-music","tag-soul","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117055134595828565","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1136150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1136150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1136150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1136151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1136150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1136150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1136150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
