Luke Sital-Singh Returns With “Strange Weather” + Announces New EP
February 24, 2023 BY Bailey Vigliaturo
On the heels of his acclaimed full-length album Dressing Like A Stranger, singer, songwriter and producer Luke Sital-Singh announces his new EP, Strange Weather, out June 9 via Nettwerk. He introduces this chapter with the nostalgic and haunting EP opener and title track, “Strange Weather.” His vocals weave through bright atmospheric guitar as he laments, “All my favorite spots are closed down, nowhere to go now.”
“Weather is a big metaphor,” Luke observes. “It affects your mood and how you look at life. Rain makes everything worse. If it’s sunny again, the problems are there, but they seem easier to deal with. I’ve never made note of the atmosphere before. The metaphor carried on for me, because everything was strange after the Pandemic. ‘Strange Weather’ was a summary of the EP and how I felt in general.”
Strange Weather follows last fall’s Dressing Like A Stranger, an eleven-song collection penned by the London-born songwriter as he moved halfway across the globe to Los Angeles just before the world shut down. Throughout the album (his Nettwerk debut), Luke takes stock of newfound change on many fronts: distance from loved ones (“Rather Be” – a stunning duet with multi-platinum star Christina Perri), the complexities of belief (“Me & God” – named a Best Song Of The Week selection by WNYC upon its release) and, most importantly, his quest to find optimism even on the darkest of days (“Summer Somewhere”). The album has so far gained over 10 million Spotify streams and received praise from NPR Music, Forbes, No Depression, Under The Radar, WNYC and more.
