Book/Magazine + Digital Album
In 2020, Tom Aspaul independently released his debut album, Black Country Disco. Having lived and worked in London for twelve years as a songwriter (Kylie Minogue, Becky Hill, Snakehips, Celeste), Aspaul returned home to the West Midlands where the album was conceived and created.
With no label, no publisher and no PR team (and released during the height of the global pandemic!) the record was named by Gay Times as ‘queer disco album of the year’ and included in several end-of-year countdown lists (Guardian, GQ), supported by a sold-out UK tour and streams of over 4 million.
In collaboration with Polari Press – with foreword by gay icon Princess Julia and featuring interviews with a cast of photographers, producers, filmmakers and artists who helped create the album – BLACK COUNTRY DISCO: THE BOOK includes never-before-seen photography, an in-depth look into the lyrical content of each track and Tom’s musical inspirations and visual references for the album’s creative processes.
I really wanted to document and celebrate the record, from its initial inception, to its release, through to the tour in 2021, as well as showcase all the (mostly queer) creatives who helped and enabled me to fulfil my vision. It’s been a wild, often difficult journey getting this album made, something I don’t think I’ll ever experience quite so intensively again. The record itself is really only half the story

[Verse 1]
You think that you want me
You think that I’m worth your time
You said that you don’t even know me
But you’ll take a chance tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you sure that it’s me that you want?
Have you seen me?
Are you looking at the right boy, baby?
I fear that it’s gonna be, gonna be too late
When you realise it
[Chorus]
I’ll let you down
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
If you get too close to me
Close to me
Close to me
I’ll let you down
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
I’m not who I’m supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be, baby
[Verse 2]
Born in Wolverhampton
Left when I was just fourteen
Then I moved to London
That’s all you really need to know about me
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you sure that it’s me that you want?
Gonna be too late
When you realise it
[Chorus]
I’ll let you down
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
If you get too close to me
Close to me
Close to me
I’ll let you down
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
I’m not who I’m supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you sure that it’s me that you want?
Have you seen me?
Are you looking at the right boy, baby?
I fear that it’s gonna be, gonna be too late
When you realise it
[Chorus]
I’ll let you down
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
If you get too close to me
Close to me
Close to me
I’ll let you down
(I'll let you down)
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
I’m not who I’m supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be, baby
[Outro]
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
(Close to me, close to me, close to me)
(Yes I'll let you down, yes I'll let)
(Supposed to be, supposed to be, supposed to be)
waiting on the sidelines until i do something worthy of being asked to open for this amazing band. discovered you during a cliche middle-age-identity-crisis. thank you for making me feel simultaneously young and old. lengthsofwire
