Timeline

2018

In November and December 2018, Faulkner starred as the Sung Thoughts of the Journalist in the 40th anniversary musical version of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

On December 10, 2018, Faulkner announced through social media channels the forthcoming release of The Very Best of Newton Faulkner...So Far, featuring 31 songs: selected songs from his six studio albums, three new tracks, and recordings of "all the covers I play live, from 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to ’Send Me On My Way' and a track I promised myself I'd never record!" A new Christmas-themed track called "Wake Up" was previewed on his website to promote the album. A European tour for Spring 2019 was announced at the same time, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2017

Newton's sixth studio album was released on 1 September 2017. While this built on the intricate guitar and percussive guitar work that was a feature of his previous albums, it marked a conscious focus from Newton to push his vocal range to the limits with a strong emphasis also on rhythm, most noticeably on the first, eponymous, single which featured some very high notes and also on another blues-tinged track Finger Tips which was released as the third single and the follow up to All She Needs. As this recording marked the 10th anniversary of Newton's debut album Hand Built By Robots, Hit The Ground Running featured several deliberate references to that record; the opening track Smoked Ice Cream (a track that he had played live for years that had no title until a suggestion was shouted out from a crowd at a gig) featured a slowly picked melody building into a rhythmic instrumental played on a single acoustic guitar before the vocals kicked in, in a similar way to that which the instrumental Intro builds and then segues into To The Light at the start of his debut album. The placement of the only instrumental track Guitar-y Thing in the middle of Hit The Ground Running is also a nod to Sitar-Y-Thing which was an instrumental giving a similar mood to split Hand Built By Robots into two halves. Shortly before the release of Hit The Ground Running, Newton recorded an acoustic version of the full Hand Built By Robots album as a free gift for his fans, putting it out on YouTube as a video album featuring a newly recorded video of him playing each song in a different setting in and around his house with each song seguing into the next in the same way and in the same order as the original record.

2016

In 2016, Faulkner was cast as Johnny in the musical American Idiot, which is based on songs from the band Green Day. He played the role on the UK Tour, and continued in the role when the show returned to the West End at the Arts Theatre in July 2016.

2015

On 15 September 2015, it was announced that Faulkner's fifth studio album, Human Love, would be released on 20 November 2015. A music video for the album's lead single, a cover of Major Lazer's song "Get Free", was released the same day and featured a live take of Newton cutting off the long dreadlocks that had been a part of his instantly recognisable image since his teens. A second single Up Up and Away was subsequently released and accompanied by a video featuring choreographed dance routines performed while Newton jogged along a river bank.

Faulkner released his second studio album, Rebuilt by Humans, in 2009, which made No.3 UK Albums Chart. On a video blog streamed live from Newton Faulkner's website on 22 June 2009, he stated that the new album would be called Rebuilt By Humans. The reason for this was that in December 2008, Faulkner slipped on some ice and badly injured his wrist, into which doctors fitted a metal plate.

The first single from the album was "If This Is It", with the video exclusively shown on Channel 4 and released in September 2009.

He released three singles from the album, "Dream Catch Me", "I Need Something" and "Teardrop". "Dream Catch Me" was selected Jo Whiley's Pet Sound on her daily Radio 1 show and made No.7 on the UK Singles Charts. This gave the track exposure and was highly commented on by listeners to Jo's show by SMS and e-mail. On 29 July, "Dream Catch Me" reached No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart. His fourth single from the album, a cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop", was released in December 2007.
