We’ve got some big news for fans of the ever talented writer, producer, musician and composer Jan Skubiszewski under the moniker Way Of The Eagle, who is set to release his debut record, KODO, as well as announcing an east coast tour this August.
The brand-spankin’ new album hits shelves Frida 19 June, and will feature favourites including ‘Rattlesnake’, ‘12345’ and ‘Sweet Addiction’.
Way Of The Eagle is best described as a creative vision. “I love melodic songs and writing songs with different singers,” Jan explains about the genesis of his debut album. “And I think people love to sing along to songs – I know I do. I want that to be a really big part of Way Of The Eagle. I’ve written this music so that lots of people can enjoy it. It’s not dense jazz music and it’s not taking itself too seriously. There’s a strong sense of musicality, but the essence of it is to make people get up and have a good time.”
The album speaks to Jan’s prolific skill in producing across a wide range of genres, spanning from soul and funk to hip hop and blues and roots, and whilst the genres throughout the album cross a wide range of styles, there’s an undeniable, pulsing energy that underpins the collection and pulls it together into a cohesive and exciting listen.
Don’t miss your chance to catch one of Australia’s most promising talents in the flesh this Winter.
