Luke Sital-Singh
ABOUT
Fool’s Spring is Sital-Singh's fifth album and his first to be self-produced album and is the beloved British musician’s most musically eclectic collection to date. The songs take listeners through Luke’s difficult personal journey over the past few years, punctuated with high highs and lower lows. The album title is a nod to this rollercoaster - the tease of impending spring, of hope, only for winter to return again. “The poetry of thinking a dark time is over, only for it to return,” says Sital-Singh, “is something that resonates with the theme of the new album.”
Fool’s Spring was written as Sital-Singh realized that his time in the western U.S., where he and his wife had spent the better part of 5 years, was coming to an end, and they would have to make the move back to the UK to continue their journey towards expanding their family. “This album was written in the hardest season of my life, as my wife and I struggled to begin a family. Now, as the album release approaches, my son rests in my arms. I feel the weight of how life has shifted—these songs, written before everything changed, now ring out in a new world..”
These new songs follow Sital-Singh’s acclaimed 2022 album 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").
With his growing catalog, Sital-Singh has continued to captivate listeners. Among many highlights, “Call Me When You Land” with Old Sea Brigade has gathered over 42m million Spotify streams, while “Killing Me” has almost 19 million Spotify streams. He has also performed alongside everyone from Angus and Julia Stone and Martha Wainwright to Passenger and Gregory Alan Isakov, in addition to leading a TED Talk at the official TED Conference.
