Jack Savoretti Announces New Album ‘Singing To Strangers’
Jack Savoretti has just announced that he's releasing her brand new album, Singing To Strangers, on March 22nd via BMG Records. The album was produced by Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), and follows his last two gold discs Written in Scars (2014) and Sleep No More (2016).
Recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone’s studio this long, hot summer, the 12 track album features Jack’s acclaimed live band: guitarists Pedro Vito and Sam Lewis; bassist Sam Davies, drummer Jesper Lind and musical director Nikolai Torp on keys. Speaking about it Jack said,
Lucikly Morricone’s studio is in the basement of this huge church so it was cooler. And the atmosphere down there was essential and that was captured on ‘Candlelight’, which became the calling card of the album and will be the first single.
As for the title track Jack explains it’s origin:
To accompany the release Jack will tour Europe next April before hitting the UK next May.That’s my job: I sing to strangers. That’s what I’ve spent most of my life doing. Singing to friends and family and fans; they’re already onside, so you can, to some extent sing anything. Strangers need convincing, touching, connection.
