Background

[edit | edit source]

Savoretti named the album Singing to Strangers because, he said, "That's my job: I sing to strangers. That's what I've spent most of my life doing. Singing to friends and family and fans; they're already onside, so you can, to some extent sing anything. Strangers need convincing, touching, connection."[5]

Recording

[edit | edit source]

The album was recorded in Rome at Ennio Morricone's studio in mid-2018 with producer Cam Blackwood.[2] In addition to writing with Kylie Minogue,[6] Savoretti co-wrote a track with Bob Dylan titled "Touchy Situation".[7]
