Featuring just his beautiful voice and piano, the album is a departure from his typical work, which often includes luxurious music ensembles. I appreciate the intimacy of his songs, which highlight his tumultuous relationship with his family (see: “Martha”, a direct address to his sister) and the gripping depression he experiences over his mother’s illness (she passed away in January). Songs on this album also include adaptations of three Shakespeare sonnets and an aria from his not-so-well received opera Prima Donna.
