Producers Ben Cramer (Old Sea Brigade) and Owen Lewis (Snow Patrol, Willie Nelson) lend Kerr’s sound new depth - somewhere between James Taylor and Radiohead, tackling themes romantic and apocalyptic, laced with his dry British humour. “It's incredible to see people singing my songs around the planet, raising their voices together, calling for peace, truth and justice. I hope you sing along and feel you’re not the only one.” said Martin.
