The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But, as the pandemic went on, one‐off projects kept cropping up and I’ve ended with a selection of really interesting and diverse stuff that was completely different to anything I’m known for, stuff that took me out of my comfort zone into completely new territory. And I realised there was something weirdly familiar about working like this. At the start of my career, in the late 60s, I worked as a session musician. Working with different artists during lockdown reminded me of that. I’d come full circle: I was a session musician again. And it was still a blast.

And to everyone who came together to make this album happen- @thisiswatt, @brandicarlile, @charlieputh, @dualipa, @eddievedder, @glencampbellofficial, @gorillaz, @jimmieallen, @lilnasx, @mileycyrus, @nickiminaj, @ollyyears, @yearsandyears, @pnaupnau, @sglewis, @stevienicks, Stevie Wonder, @surfacesmusic, @rinasonline, @thuggerthugger1 and everyone else out there – thank you!

I can’t wait for you all to hear the album when it’s released on 22 October, but for now you can preorder it from today from the link in my bio.
