Ausverkauft | Jack Savoretti

In the organizer's words:

Following his sold-out concert in Berlin, British singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti has announced two more concerts in Germany for autumn 2024. Savoretti will be playing in Cologne on October 24 at the Kulturkirche and Hamburg on October 25 at the Laeiszhalle, presenting his first album in Italian, "Miss Italia", which will be released on May 17 via Universal Music.

The title of the album refers to the longing for Italy and the romantic idea of rediscovering one's roots. "I want to portray the Italy that I know and discover what I don't yet know in order to tell it to others," explains Jack Savoretti. With a raw, passionate and poignant voice, Jack Savoretti leaves all judgment aside and fuses Anglo-Saxon with Italian singer-songwriting to create his unique sound.

The album came at an important time in Jack's life, as his Italian father had recently passed away. Jack explains: "My father was the anchor that connected me to Italy, the link to my roots that I was in danger of losing without him. So I went back to school. I didn't want to imitate Italian music, I wanted to make it my own, combining everything I'd learned in nearly 20 years of experience working in America, England and Italy, fusing Anglo-Saxon singer-songwriting with Italian to create something unique. I had to learn to write in Italian before I could make MY album in Italian."

The album contains a total of 13 tracks, including several collaborations such as the new version of "Senza Una Donna" together with Zucchero, as well as the track "Ultime Parole" with Natalie Imbruglia. Miles Kane, Carla Morrison and Delilah Montagu can also be heard.

Jack Savoretti enjoys a reputation as an outstanding singer-songwriter. The list of his collaborators reads like a who's who of the music scene. These include international greats such as Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Nile Rodgers, to name but a few. He is a master at channeling his musical roots, which lie both in the singer-songwriters of the 60s and 70s in California and in European chansonniers such as Charles Aznavour and Lucio Battisti. But despite being bilingual from birth, writing in Italian was new territory for an artist who has produced and sold millions of albums for over sixteen years, releasing seven albums in that time, two of which have reached number one in the UK album charts - Singing To Strangers in 2019 and his most recent release Europiana in 2021.

With Miss Italia, he has created an album that sounds very much like Jack Savoretti and is also a first.
