  • Description

    Vocalist Alexander Stewart returns with an orchestral, cinematic album, that dusts off the constraints of nostalgia, leaping forward into the contemporary and places the twenty-something Mancunian back in the UK music spotlight.

    Labelled as "one of the most precociously talented vocalists of his generation", Stewart's acknowledgement of both standards and popular music is greatly referenced in his choice of material, both in his live and recorded work and no more so than in this upcoming release.



    The 12-track album includes new takes on timeless songs, ranging from Jackie Wilson (The Sweetest Feeling) to Dusty Springfield (The Look Of Love), and from up-tempo interpretation on Etta James (I Just Want To Make Love to you), to the opening track, a sweeping orchestral mambo through a Stevie Wonder favorite (Part Time Lover).



    Blending with these cornerstones in popular musical legacy, are four original compositions by Stewart, (including a co-write with long time collaborator, Alex Webb) showcasing a huge development of Alexander, as both artist and now songwriter.



    Add to all this, a total reimagining of a Sinatra classic as the albums centerpiece (brought forward to the 21st century with a bold, new, orchestral score), 'I Thought About You' is a richly textured, contemporary record, with a modern, emotive approach to songs you know and love, delivered with conviction by Stewart.
