Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

12. Gary ClarkTen Short Songs About Love

An amazing songwriter and he’s up there as one of my top 10 vocalists. He has the most beautiful, unique voice. Ten Short Songs About Love is just an album that I keep going back to. It talks about the joy of love, getting together with someone, having big dreams and making a family. It talks about being deserted and heartbroken and all of the thing that we know come with love. The whole album is written in the most beautiful heartfelt way. His vocals are quite astonishingly good and the production on it is awesome. It’s a beautiful thing to listen to – beautifully realised and incredible lyrics. Of all the people I’ve talked about, Gary Clark is someone who I would love to work with the most at this point in my life.
