WATCH CURTIS HARDING ON CBS THIS MORNING: SATURDAY

PERFORMING “THE POWER”, “I WON’T LET YOU DOWN” + “THERE SHE GOES”

NEW ALBUM ‘DEPARTURES & ARRIVALS:
ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN CURT’ OUT NOW

EAST COAST TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

"He has such a flair for atmosphere ... gorgeous, expansive, lush soul arrangements that conjure memories of Isaac Hayes or Curtis Mayfield where there is a cinematic sweep to it."
- Stephen Thompson, NPR Music

“Atlanta-based soulman’s captivating, existential space opera ... Harding’s fourth full-length is a conceptual work, its futurist setting a delicious contrast with his string-drenched, traditional soul.”
- MOJO

"Harding is also an artist eager to grow and innovate even as he evokes past styles ... He doesn't evoke the sounds of Black music of the 1960s and '70s because it makes him cool, but because it's his lingua franca."
- All Music Guide

Over the weekend, electrically expressive Atlanta soul singer Curtis Harding performed three songs on CBS This Morning: Saturday. From his new album ‘Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt’, head below to watch he and his band’s fresh renditions of “The Power” and “There She Goes”, as well as a performance of “I Won’t Let You Down” from his 2021 album ‘If Words Were Flowers’, a fan favorite trending on TikTok which is heavily contributing to an increase in catalog streaming now at 2 million weekly.

“I Won’t Let You Down”: https://youtu.be/gxfHKIWDhYc?si=wSgpHfKTlLl1bNFL

Recorded live with a full band, ‘Departures & Arrivals’ encompasses everything from moody space-funk to lush baroque-pop to otherworldly psych-rock—all while endlessly spotlighting Harding’s rich and captivating vocals and incandescent guitar work. 

In a testament to the dazzling fluidity of his artistry, Harding arrived at the album’s premise by resolutely following his creative intuition. “Because I’m away from home so much of the time, a lot of these songs came from feeling adrift and wanting to get back to the ones I love,” he says. “I started envisioning this character who takes a journey and gets lost in space, then ends up traveling through different galaxies and dimensions as he’s trying to find his way back home.”

‘Departures & Arrivals’ ushers in a bold new era for Harding while staying true to the profound sense of purpose that’s always fueled his songwriting. “Sometimes when you’re feeling lost, hearing from someone else who’s felt the same way can let you know you’re not alone—that’s really the whole sentiment of the album,” says Harding. “I hope these songs help people to recognize that feeling lost is all part of the journey, and that the journey is what’s most important anyway. And once you realize that, you’re on the right path. You’re already on your way home.”

On the heels of the album’s release and this TV performance, Harding is announcing his first run of 2026 US tour dates today – with more coming soon - and begins a month-long European tour next month; all upcoming dates are listed below.
