Album Notes & Community Reviews

Relocating briefly to Paris during a prolific creative period, the idiosyncratic songwriter delivered one of his most lush and cohesive solo projects. The record marries his trademark booming baritone and cynical, world-weary lyricism to incredibly sophisticated, string-laden baroque pop and lounge arrangements.
