JP, CHRISSIE AND THE FAIRGROUND BOYS TO RELEASE
FIDELITY! ON AUGUST 24TH |
|
|
|
|
JP, Chrissie, & The Fairground
Boys are proud to announce the
release of their debut album,
Fidelity!, on August 24th
through their own La Mina
Records in partnership with
Rocket Science Ventures. The
album was written in Cuba,
recorded in London and mixed in
Santa Monica, CA by Bob
Clearmountain.
Fidelity!
is an epic love story, albeit
not a conventional one.
Everything you need to know
about the heartbreaking, but
ultimately uplifting and
fruitful relationship between
The Pretenders leader Chrissie
Hynde and Welsh
singer-songwriter JP Jones is
contained within Fidelity!’s 11
songs — from passion and desire,
to sadness and acceptance. As
Hynde sings in the wrenchingly
candid opening track “Perfect
Lover”: “I found my perfect
lover but he's only half my age
/ He was learning how to stand
when I was wearing my first
wedding band / I found my
perfect lover but I have to turn
the page / But I want him in my
kitchen and standing on my
stage.”
“It wasn’t an
easy album to make emotionally,
but writing and singing together
was like falling off a log — the
music was pouring out of us,”
Hynde says. “We wrote to each
other, about each other, with
each other, and for each other.”
But don’t think Hynde and
Jones are crying into their
pints. Fidelity! is a joyful,
rock and roll album. Amid a
backdrop of acoustic
guitar-driven rock and folk with
blues and country underpinnings,
Hynde and Jones unfurl their
story, both singing lead,
trading verses, and wrapping
their contrasting voices around
one another so naturally, it’s
as if they’ve been singing
together for much longer than a
year.
"Proof of the
uniquely vibrant yet vintage
chemistry between JP and
Chrissie couldn't be more
self-evident than within the
first single, "If You Let Me,"
and we're beyond enthused to
partake in this summer's best
fairground,” says Ken Gullic,
General Manager of Rocket
Science Ventures.
JP,
Chrissie and The Fairground Boys
will announce a major fall tour
of the U.S. in the coming weeks.
