Portraits by a Singer of Songs
"No more selfies!"
After almost 10 years of confessing the inconfessable with his ultra-personal songs, in 2017 a Singer of Songs suddenly had enough. Tired of navel-gazing, he began to write portraits of the people around him. His parents who fight heroically against old age. His brother-in-law who introduced him to indie music with a pile of carefully made mixtapes. The sad florist who turned out to be the happiest woman in the world. A friend's fight against cancer. The friend who fled from the war in Syria. These are only some of the stories a Singer of Songs delved into like a reporter to mold them into the 9 intimate indie-folk songs that form "Portraits", a Singer of Songs' sixth studio album.
