a tender, time-suspended folk moment that feels both human and eternal

brighton singer-songwriter ian roland slows the world down with 20 breaths of love per minute, a song that moves with the quiet rhythm of the heart. written around the simple act of breathing, it unfolds like a meditation on love and nature, each note a reminder of how presence and tenderness can exist in perfect balance.

supported by dave coomber on bass, james chapman on drums, and mishkin fitzgerald on piano and backing vocals, ian roland delivers a rich, organic performance recorded and produced with jake skinner at brighton road studios. the result is warm and deeply textured – acoustic folk that glows with sincerity and restraint.

his voice feels close, unhurried, as if inviting the listener to exhale with him. there’s a pulse beneath the stillness, a sense of gratitude stitched into every chord.

20 breaths of love per minute isn’t just a title, it’s an instruction – to listen, to breathe, to love without rushing. gentle, nostalgic, and full of life’s quiet beauty, it’s music that lingers long after it ends.
