Renowned Danish composer and pianist, Frans Bak, unveils his latest project, the ballads album Softer Than You Know, marking a nostalgic return to his musical origins.
Softer Than You Know is a collection of 10 songs featuring lyrics by Helle Hansen, performed by the internationally acclaimed vocalist Sinne Eeg. Bak describes the album as a fusion between jazz and pop, offering laid-back melodies and ample room for musical exploration.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bak found himself longing for the sound of his own band. A chance online encounter with saxophonist Fredrik Lundin reignited his passion for music, leading to a collaboration with lyricist Helle Hansen. In turn, Sinne Eeg’s captivating voice breathed life into the songs, inspiring Bak to create a full album.
Recorded with a stellar line up, including Thomas Vang on bass, Emil de Waal on drums and Peter Sprague on guitar paired with contributions from saxophonists Hans Ulrik and Fredrik Lundin, Softer Than You Know promises to enchant listeners with its soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
