Lemar - Letter

2015 release from the multi-platinum selling, double Brit Award winner. Recorded in the legendary EastWest Studios in L.A, where Sinatra recorded 'My Way' and Marvin Gaye made 'Let's Get It On', the album is a combination of reinterpreted soul classics and brand new, original tracks. The Letter is the record Lemar has long known he would one day make. It's a sumptuous soul record with a vintage sound, recorded live, perfectly showcasing his distinctive and versatile honeyed vocals. Lemar has reinterpreted tracks by a who's who of the great soul singers, including Al Green, Sam Cooke and Van Morrison, while purposely avoiding the obvious track choices. Legendary producer Larry Klein, who has worked with the likes of Tracy Chapman, Norah Jones and Joni Mitchell produced the album. Klein isn't the only collaborator adding authenticity to the project; The Waters - who previously worked with Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and more recently Adele, took up backing vocalist duties on the album.
