“Ethereal trip-hop strip teases, retro coffee bar jazzy flows, enigmatic dub drifts and crafted classical sighs make ideal ear candy for a late night romantic rendez-vous, stylish dinner parties or lazy Sunday lunches. Duvet day soundtracks seldom sound more stylish.” GQ Magazine
Jerome Arthur’s album Confessions in White offers a refreshing contrast to its counterpart, Confessions in Red. While both albums share thematic roots in a celebration of wine, Confessions in White feels lighter and more uplifting, radiating a sense of joy and renewal.
Much like its counterpart, Confessions in Red, this album invites the listener to pause, savour, and reflect. But where Confessions in Red was about introspection and emotional complexity, Confessions in White is about celebrating the joys of life – the moments that make you feel alive and connected to the world around you.
The rhythms here are more upbeat, with a sense of playfulness that contrasts beautifully with the introspective mood of the previous album, and melodies that dance and pulse with energy. The balance between the album’s light, airy feeling and its underlying complexity mirrors the duality of wine itself: joyful and easygoing, but with an unmistakable depth beneath the surface. It’s music that uplifts without overwhelming, creating a sense of calm joy.
