The album is out now ✨
, the cult melodramatic pop singer and playwright whose divine new albumdrops this week via Arbutus Records. On stage, he’s a magnificent and sometimes hilarious performer who can captivate an audience with his antics and enthusiasm. On the record, meanwhile, he’s heart-wrenching, passionate, and deeply personal.
Savage, with his signature peroxide blonde hair and gap-toothed grin, flickers back and forth between upbeat ebullience and pensiveness. We buzz on Britney Spears, get interrupted by phone calls from mum, and pause for moments to gaze in deep contemplation , and I’ll be satisfied that yin and yang are present. But a short while ago, Savage tells me, this balance wasn’t there. “I went through a really hard time, actually,” he says. “A lot of things changed for me in my life.
When the winter blues that struck at Savage’s home in Berlin reached the point of being “intolerable” that year, he jumped aboard a budget flight to Crete in an attempt at restoration. “I was just by myself – writing, or healing, or something,” he says. It was only here, with the writing of, that he would start to come out of “the kind of depression where you don’t feel like you want anything.”, this track exudes a profound warmth and brightness, evoking the Balearic setting powerfully.
The presence of acoustic guitars – a departure from much of Savage’s past work – was meanwhile envisioned for an “Elliott Smith-style album”, but there are more obvious serotonin-charged influences at work on“I was going on this art diet,” Savage explains, “where I would only listen to Max Martin for, like, a couple of hours every day.” He’s referring to the Swedish super-producer and songwriter responsible for some of the biggest hits by NSYNC, Celine Dion, and Britney Spears.
. “Early Max Martin is really brilliant,” Savage summates. “It’s really fun music, so I get pumped when I hear stuff like that.”
