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 Perry wrote for "Tant de Belles Choses" by French icon Françoise Hardy. In a twenty-year career, Perry Blake has been compared to Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, John Grant, and David Bowie, but his music is difficult to categorize. Songs of Praise has traces of his previous work, similar to his eponymous debut album Perry Blake which charted in the French Top 40. This new album is a major event in 2019 and presents Perry at the height of his powers. Written entirely 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.
