Acclaimed pianist/producer Thomas Bartlett releases his extraordinary debut solo album, Shelter. A collection of eight disarmingly beautiful piano nocturnes written as a love letter to his partner, British actress and singer Ella Hunt, as well as to New York City itself, his home for 21 years, Bartlett recorded the album in his home over two days following the beginning of lockdown.
But with his studio empty after lockdown, Bartlett found solace in a musical form dear to him since childhood: the nocturne. Traditionally inspired by the night, the nocturne – especially those by Frédéric Chopin – had proven revelatory to Bartlett as a young musician, though he had long been wary of composing in such an emotional style himself.
“In the total strangeness of the moment and the lockdown. I gave myself permission to do a thing that I don’t usually do, in terms of how these pieces to me are kind of shameless in their sentimentality.”
- Thomas Bartlett
