Songs of Praise

Description

Irish singer-songwriter Perry Blake presents Songs of Praise, his first new album in 13 years. It contains eleven new compositions and a cover of So Many Things - a track that Perry wrote for "Tant de Belles Choses" by French icon Françoise Hardy. Over his twenty-year career, Perry Blake has been compared to Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, John Grant, and David Bowie, but his music is hard to categorize. Songs of Praise bears traces of his previous work, similar to his debut self-titled album Perry Blake, which reached the Top 40 in France. This new album is a major event in 2019 and showcases Perry at the height of his powers. Entirely written by Perry Blake, Songs of Praise was recorded in 2018/19 and remastered by Kevin Metcalfe, whose works include David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs," The Cure's "Disintegration," Damon Albarn's "Everyday Robots," as well as albums by The Who, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Queen.
