As Jack Savoretti winds up the biggest year of his career so far, he today has announced a special edition of his Number 1 charting, third consecutive UK gold-certified album, \u2018Singing To Strangers\u2019 – out December 6th on BMG.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jack finds himself marvelling at a marvellous year. Months of rapturously received shows across the world; a triumphant, sold-out Wembley Arena homecoming; collaborations with artists as diverse as Kylie, Mika and Sigma; and an album in \u2018Singing To Strangers\u2019 that is one of the best selling albums of the year, with sales fast approaching 150,000.<\/p>\n

This is no three-b-sides-and-a-Live-in-Pompeii-version-of-the-big-single. ‘Singing To Strangers: Special Edition’ features three brand new studio tracks, \u2018Closer\u2019 and \u2018Waiting For The Sun\u2019, plus a stunning original festive track \u2018Christmas Morning\u2019 – listen here.<\/p>\n

Jack says of the poignant, strings-laden ballad which he wrote for his children,<\/p>\n

“I wanted to reassure them that, even if I\u2019m far away, I\u2019ll be there on Christmas morning. I wanted them to have this song they could listen to every Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album also includes the Radio 2 A-list smash \u2018Youth & Love\u2019 feat. Mika; \u2018Music\u2019s Too Sad Without You\u2019 (Jack\u2019s hit duet with Kylie Minogue); the stunning live performance of The Killers’ \u2018Human\u2019, with Ward Thomas from the SSE Arena, Wembley 2019; as well as \u2018Candlelight\u2019 from his Radio 2 Ken Bruce Piano Sessions, and Jack\u2019s collaboration with UK artist Sigma, \u2018You And Me As One\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want this to feel like another album, nor just some outtakes,\u201d he insists. \u201cIt has to feel like its own thing, and also be a step along the way to the next album. So that gives you some creative liberties. I want people to go: \u2018Wait, what? He\u2019s doing what with who now?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here, then, again, anew, is Jack Savoretti\u2019s masterpiece, offering love and warmth and togetherness in cold and fractious times. He began the year singing to strangers. He\u2019s ending it singing to friends – hundreds of thousands of them.<\/p>\n
