Description
Jack Savoretti returns March 15th with a stunning new album Singing to Strangers on BMG Records. Produced by Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), the album follows Jacks last two gold discs Written in Scars (2014) and Sleep No More (2016).
Recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricones studio this long, hot summer, the 12 track album features Jacks acclaimed live band: guitarists Pedro Vito and Sam Lewis; bassist Sam Davies, drummer Jesper Lind and musical director Nikolai Torp on keys.
Lucikly Morricones studio is in the basement of this huge church so it was cooler, Jack says. And the atmosphere down there was essential and that was captured on Candlelight, which became the calling card of the album
As for the title track Jack explains its origin: Thats my job: I sing to strangers. Thats what Ive spent most of my life doing. Singing to friends and family and fans; theyre already onside, so you can, to some extent sing anything. Strangers need convincing, touching, connection.
Two co-writes on the album are amongst the highlights. Touchy Situation was co-written with Bob Dylan. Yes you read that right, Bob Dylan! A contact of Jacks American manager had some old Dylan lyrics and he was fine with Jack writing music to them.
It may have been because hed heard Jacks cover of the Dylan rarity Nobody Cept You on Written In Scars a song Jack found in Jackson Brownes studio.
