Jack Savoretti plays a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from his latest album β€˜Europiana’.

β€˜Europiana’ is the follow-up to Jack’s breakthrough 2019 album β€˜Singing to Strangers’, his third consecutive gold seller and first UK number one. While that album was recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone’s studio, this new disc was conceived in between lockdowns at Jack’s Oxfordshire home.

β€œEuropiana isn’t a sound. It’s references and inspirations and the emotions they evoke,” Jack says. β€œIt’s the music of my childhood summers, remade for today.”

Once again, Cam Blackwood (George Ezra, London Grammar, Florence & The Machine), has produced the album, recorded late last year at Abbey Road with Jack’s longtime touring band. John Oates plays guitar and sang backing vocals, from Nashville, on the lush β€˜When You’re Lonely’.
