Description

This painting is inspired by the recently released album by Liam Gallagher “Why Me? Why Not” I am totally in love with and listen all the time since release on September 20, 2019.

Why Me? Why Not. is the second solo studio album by English singer and songwriter Liam Gallagher, released on 20 September 2019 by Warner Records.
The album's lead single "Shockwave" became one of Gallagher's biggest solo hits, the best selling vinyl single of 2019 in the UK and his first solo single to top a chart in general, reaching number one in Scotland.The album received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, achieving Silver certification in its first week.
Liam Gallagher, the former frontman of the rock band Oasis, had made a successful comeback following the break-up of his post-Oasis band Beady Eye with his platinum-certified debut As You Were (2017). The album entered the British charts at number one, outselling the entire top 10 combined and achieving Gold certification in its first week, while also selling more copies than both Beady Eye albums combined. In addition, it received a positive reaction from critics and audiences.
Gallagher revealed that he had begun work on his second album in April 2018, confirming that he would again be working with famed producer Greg Kurstin as well as Andrew Wyatt, both of whom were involved with his first album. Recording began in April 2018 in Los Angeles and continued sporadically through to 2 April 2019. The album also features his 18-year-old son Gene playing bongos on the track "One of Us". Unlike his first album, all the tracks are co-written by Gallagher.
The album's name comes from two drawings by John Lennon that Gallagher owns. The first titled "Why Me?" was bought by Gallagher from a John Lennon art exhibition in Munich in 1997 and the second titled "Why Not" was given to Gallagher by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.

On May 30, Gallagher uploaded a 50-second teaser video of him hanging out at a pub garden and blasting a new song "Shockwave" from a boombox.The song was later debuted live at Hackney's Round Chapel in London and made available for streaming June 7 as well as a physical vinyl release on 12 June. The first promotional single, titled "The River" was released with a music video on June 27. The song was debuted live on Glastonbury festival on 29 June.
A documentary film Liam Gallagher: As It Was, which detailed his comeback into music industry, was premiered on 6 June and featured a snippet of the song "Once". The song gained acclaim from fans and was finally released on 26 July as the second promotional single. Gallagher himself declared it to be one of the best songs he has ever been part of.
Gallagher played an acoustic set for MTV Unplugged in Hull City Hall on 3 August, showcasing his solo songs. "Once" debuted live and new songs "One of Us" (released as the fourth single on August 16), "Now That I've Found You", "Why Me? Why Not" and "Gone" were played publicly for the first time. Gallagher also performed several Oasis songs, including "Stand by Me" for the first time since 2001, and "Sad Song" which he had never performed live before. For the Oasis songs, Gallagher was joined on stage by former Oasis guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs. The special aired on 27 September, several hours after the album debuted at number one in the UK.
