Album Notes & Community Reviews

Structured as a deeply melancholic concept album exploring isolation and romantic despair, the vocalist abandons his typical joyful swing. The towering orchestrations by Gordon Jenkins are overwhelmingly lush and funereal, forcing the singer to stretch his phrasing to heartbreaking tempos. The project stands as a devastatingly beautiful, unusually dark masterpiece in mid-century traditional pop.
