New York, NY (Top40 Charts) New England-based singer/songwriter
Jesse Terry announced today the release of his new album Stargazer on
September 15, 2017. His fourth full-length album and follow-up to 2013's Stay Here With Me, Stargazer is Terry's most ambitious album to date, a lushly orchestrated collection of timely new songs centered around finding hope in a seemingly hopeless time, picking resilience over recrimination, and optimism over oblivion.
Begun while on holiday in New Zealand in the wake of the 2017 Women's March, "Woken The Wildflowers" is a tribute to the renewal of American ideals made manifest that day. "Those are the American values that we read about in grade school - equality, justice, decency, freedom, truth - and I loved seeing millions of people across the world standing up for those beliefs," said Terry. "I wanted to honor that in a song."
Drawing inspiration from a diverse pool of influences - from vintage Jeff Lynne-produced pop to Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" to The Man Who-era
Travis - Stargazer is notable for the diversity of its sonic palette. Terry is as adept at cross-pollinating spacey rockabilly with power pop ("Dance in Our Old Shoes") as he is at writing dreamy, Beatlesesque ballads about a loved one's toxic personality ("Kaleidoscope"); as comfortable at the helm of a charging, Springsteen-down-South ode to the new Nashville ("Runaway Town") as he is singing a heartbreakingly tender lullaby to a European capital ("Dear Amsterdam").
Stargazer was produced with multi-instrumentalist collaborator Josh Kaler in Nashville's sumptuous EastSide Manor Studios with renowned composer
Danny Mitchell adding string arrangements.
