Jack Savoretti is back in cinematic style with "Do It For Love," which evokes '60s sounds. Co-written with longtime friend and regular collaborator Miles Kane, the track moves in an instant from the memories to now, a vintage widescreen love letter to the golden age of songwriting.
"Do It For Love" evokes something simultaneously familiar and fresh. The lush orchestration, summoning the elegance of Burt Bacharach's classic arrangements and the sweep of Ennio Morricone's film scores, creates a soundscape that feels intimate. Strings sweep, horns glitter, and underneath it's all held together by Savoretti's voice.
Savoretti excels at sophisticated intensity, his smoky, soulful authority is very much of the vintage bond theme variety. Every phrase has a kind of romantic recklessness, something between request and triumph. It's as if the credits are about to roll over a moonlit cityscape.
"Do It For Love" is not retro for the sake of retro, it's a resurgence of pop music and its accompanying vibes that dared to be lush, dramatic, and unabashedly emotional. Between Savoretti and Kane, their partnership feels natural, troweling their love for melody and mood into something that could have come from any time.
