A Concept Album about Social Media, Big Tech and Mental Health, Which Culminated in Arnold’s Unexpected Diagnosis of Autism. <\/em>

UK Solo Artist TIM ARNOLD announces details about forthcoming studio album SUPER CONNECTED \u2013 A concept album about social media, big tech and mental health, which culminated in Arnold’s unexpected diagnosis of autism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Arnold with additional production from Jethro Tull bassist Jonathan Noyce, the album spans an elective mix of genres, and includes a vocal cameo from actor Stephen Fry on Track 6 \u201cA Commercial Break\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released on May 5th 2023, Super Connected<\/em> lifts a magnifying glass up to the technology vs. humanity debate. Conceived with guidance from Arnold\u2019s mentors Kevin Godley and the late Lindsay Kemp, the album fuses tech addiction, consumerism, family trauma, and compassion for those affected by screen dependency into 12 new songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the theatrical style of his 2015 album The Soho Hobo<\/em> (BBC Radio London Album Of The Year), Arnold wrote Super Connected<\/em> \u2018in character\u2019. Each song is sung from the perspective of different people, each with a unique mental disorder. Five years into the project, Arnold was unexpectedly diagnosed with his own real-life disorder, Autism.
