Inspired by his work on Babylon Berlin, the Sky Atlantic/Netflix German series based on Volker Kutscher's books and set in the 1920s, the record adopts the musical style of that period and revisits classics by Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, including "While My Heart is Still Beating," "Sign of the Times," "Bitter Sweet," and "Dance Away." With this album, Ferry delves into ragtime, blues, and jazz, and even though a certain nostalgia emanates from it, the dynamism of these iconic covers gives the album a modern edge. In the 1920s, jazz was the sound of popular culture, an invention at the time, and it lends a fresh feel to these songs.
