Singing to Strangers is the sixth studio album by English singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti, released on 15 March 2019 through BMG.[1] The lead single, "Candlelight", was released in December 2018.[2] Savoretti embarked on a European tour in support of the album.[2] It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with 32,264 units.[3]
Background
Savoretti named the album Singing to Strangers because, he said, "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."[4]
Recording
The album was recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone's studio in mid-2018 with producer Cam Blackwood.[1] Alongside writing with Kylie Minogue,[5] Savoretti co-wrote a track with Bob Dylan titled "Touchy Situation".[6]
