Former Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears will release his debut solo album on 13 July. Four years in the making, the self-titled LP was inspired by the singer’s new life in New Orleans.
“I created the record that I wanted to hear, that I felt had been missing from my life.” explains Shears. “These songs were cooked low and slow in the South, in Kentucky and New Orleans, with humour, heartbreak and horns.”
