The new album by Paul Andrews is now available on all major platforms
A nostalgic musical sensibility can be heard throughout the multi-layered From the Distance, encompassing 1960s R&B, 1970s pop, 1980s new wave/dance, and 1990s dance—with musical flourishes that recall recordings by Tears for Fears, Burt Bacharach, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Swing Out Sister, Steely Dan, Sade, Men Without Hats, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Basia/Matt Bianco. Still, the songs of From the Distance are firmly rooted in the here and now. Call it retro futurism. “Even though I have my influences, I feel like I have my own take on them,” Paul notes.
