hello everybody
as you know i like to keep you updated personally on the works happening with the music so here is the latest
act ii has been released and i feel very humbled that i got to release this pleasure project of mine - it is a wonderful dystopian album with a sprinkling of hope and i thank everybody who has listened to the album and shared it with friends and family
on december 4 2020 i will be releasing a special winter ep that has two cover songs. i performed these songs intimately in our studios during the first english lockdown and felt that they could be shared with you, and so they shall be, with accompanying scene videos. i hope you feel them as much as i do. thank you deeply to yazoo and harry styles for creating such wonderful sounds for me to interpret.
we have a special musical short film for you in early 2021 that combines 3 music videos from act ii into one long video and i am so excited to deliver this character-driven performance of the songs from act ii - the songs that will feature in this music short film are sertraline, you will be the death of me and rapture.
also in 2021 i will be proudly releasing the film soundtrack for sadie duartes film the lights of dawn. the film is due to premiere at film festivals worldwide in 2021 and will tour the world for several years. the soundtrack offers you a very well kept secret of mine, in that i believe my best music i create is the music without me singing on it. you have never heard this music. the soundtrack offers you a first glimpse of my cinematic mind and the sound i create when i am deeply in it. i am so excited to share this music with you and for film fans and film judging panels worldwide to experience its role in sadie duartes wonderful movie.
i have been asked via social media about act iii and i think i am comfortable enough to talk further about this record. the acts are a series of music albums that chronic places in my heart and journeys my mind has taken. every album was designed to be in a different genre so that i had the freedom to make the music i always wanted to make without feeling the pressure to stay in one genre. my fanbase is quite erratic for this reason and i love that i have brought so many people from different walks of life to the same place for a brief moment. i hope that we find a connection on this musical plain and our hands clasp together through the hardest of times. act iii is now in pre-production and we are working hard on 13 songs. the album will be unlike anything i have ever created before. i am creating an overarching album of 13 songs that has a mini-album built-in as part of that. an album that delivers both an overarching pulsing dream-pop experience with a mini-album of slow cinematic ‘wall of sound and emotion’ songs. these songs have all been written and chronic some very touchy and sensitive moments in my life on this planet. this album, without any doubt, will be an emotional process. one that will leave us dancing one minute and crying on our knees in humble prose the next. the albums title is in a photo i have posted for you below. i hope you find this information worth the wait as the album is going to take us at least one year to make, maybe longer. we want to get it right. i expect, currently, a 2022 release for act iii.
thats all from me now. i go off into the ether to make something special for us to share together. love is a most wonderful experience and yet it always ends, one way or the other, in a terrifyingly vulnerable funeral of hearts. its a very busy few years to come….i hope you stay the course and take the journey with me, hand in hand.
