Mellow Moon is Alfie Templeman’s debut album, released independently on May 27, 2022, following a streak of EPs the young English artist has kept releasing since his debut in 2017. The lead single for the record, “3D Feelings,” was released on November 2, 2021; the album was announced on February 2, 2022, the same day as its second single, “Broken,” came out to public fruition. In an interview with Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds, Templeman talked about the record and what it entails: "It’s got a bit of everything in it. It’s everything I’ve been doing for the past couple of years, so it’s a real experience. It’s just taking those little bits and pieces, and turning it into something way bigger. It’s got all different kinds of different influences that I just love. I was listening to so much Arlo Parks last year, so she’s really inspired a lot of the R&B side of the songs and the honest writing." "When I started out about two years ago, there was no pop at all .It was all quite R&B, quite indie and I just hit a point last summer where, all of a sudden, I was seeing places again and I felt like I had a lot more energy. I had a bit of a mental health thing last year, but it taught me a lot about myself. As bad as depression is, it can teach you a lot of things, and you see a lot of things in black-and-white, as they are. The pandemic showed me who I was before, and who I am now." —via Apple Music In an interview with Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1’s Future Soun
