Jack Savoretti Takes Us on a Guided Tour of His New Musical Genre, Europiana

Jack Savoretti, not leaving his audience and fans behind, he ultimately made sure to take his audience on the long run, on the guided tour of his new musical genre, “Europiana”.

His latest album centers on memories of what one could picture childhood holidays in Portofino. Without an omission of every possible event in addition.

“I’m a Mediterranean boy at heart, it’s where I feel the happiness”, says the Singer-Songwriter Jack Savoretti.

For some time, there was a pause that overthrew his passion, leaving him to start daydreaming.

He mentioned that “looking out the window wasn’t enough anymore, so I had to create this kind of escapism, a holiday getaway in my head”.

Just right at the moment, his mind decided to visit the memory lane of his childhood memories of sun-kissed beaches and swimming off the Italian coast, it was then the inspiration of the soundtrack, full of the sounds of Demis Roussos, Julio Iglesias, Gipsy kings, Jacques Brel and Italian discos streamlined.

“Jacques Brel’s song of old lovers- La Chanson Des Vieux Amants – to me, is the greatest love song ever. “It’s untouchable”, he says “and we had spent numerous nights after too many bottles of wine, translating it word for word for my friends. “I got so sick and tired of doing that I decided to write my version of these French, Spanish, German, and Italian songs and make them in English”. A lot of persistent hard work and efforts had to be put in, and of course, it wasn’t in vain.

After working all night long, translating and bringing it to book, we could say it was a success as the result of the translated song came out to be “Europiana”, making it his seventh album and the follow-up to his first UK number one, singing to strangers. He gave a bold confirmation about Europiana being an entirely new genre, owing to his Swiss- Italian- British- American upbringing to create something unique.

“It’s the music of my childhood summers,remade for today”, he explains. Some kind of remix, let’s say.

Together with his bands in his Oxfordshire home, last summer and the wide opened windows,” the sun and fun seeped into the songs” he recalls. Jeering and pushing them to see the complete package.

For anyone who’s had a packaged holiday or watched Eurovision, the sonic palette would appear familiar and a little tint of it being classy, but bear in mind not to expect Savoretti to throw his name in the ring for next year’s contest.

“No, because Eurovision doesn’t represent what’s happening in Europe musically,” he says. “It represents what’s happening in Europe on television. “It really highlights how every country does show business-but not music”.
