Matt Cardle has revealed the title and release date of his second album, The Fire.

Cardle – who left his former label Columbia Records in May – has signed with indie label So Recordings, part of the Silva Screen Music Group, and will release his new album on October 29.

The first single from the album is titled ‘It’s Only Love’, will be released on the same date as his album and fans will be able to hear the track from next week.

“Hey guys! So happy to say my new album is out October 29th!! #TheFire : ) xx,” Matt tweeted Monday morning (September 9), before updating his avatar on the site to show the cover art.
