Luke Morley announces new album, Walking On Water, set to be released on August 1, 2025.
The album’s lead single, also titled “Walking On Water,” recently released was described by Rushonrock, as “drenched in authenticity” and named it their Red-Hot Track of the Week. Speaking about the single and album , Luke explains, “Any first single for me should be a marker or statement of intent that gives you a taste of what’s to come and I think ‘WOW’ does that well. It’s maybe a little bluesier than anything on SFTBR and I’d say that the new album is maybe a little rockier than the last. It may have something to do with not having to write a Thunder album for three years! Also, looking back I think I may have been slightly reticent about releasing the last album, probably because I wasn’t sure how people would react. The fact that SFTBR was so well received made making this album a lot easier.”

Morley is best known as the lead guitarist, songwriter, and producer of Thunder, the iconic British rock band with over 35 years of success, seven Top 10 albums, and 18 Top 40 singles. After Thunder went on hiatus following frontman Danny Bowes’ 2022 stroke recovery, Morley returned to his solo career and his 2023 critically acclaimed second solo album, Songs From The Blue Room, saw impressive chart success, including hitting #1 on the Official Indie Breaker Albums Chart.
Excited to take his solo work on the road, Luke is gearing up for a UK tour and shares his enthusiasm for performing live. “I took a bit of persuading to tour with the last album as I wasn’t sure whether I’d enjoy the role of lead singer and frontman but once I’d come to with doing it my own way, I really enjoyed it so there’s no hesitation with this album; I can’t wait!”
