“Joss and I have had manyadventures around the world writing and recording and we have always enjoyedevery minute. We are essentially best friends which makes it effortless. Themusic flows naturally between us. In the making of this album, ‘NeverForget My Love’, as usual we started off small, just the two of us writing withan acoustic guitar, but if you were to hear those simple phone recordingswe are already singing and shouting out brass lines and string arrangements to each other and anyonelistening would think we were crazy people. We have a secret musical languageand it’s so special. I’m very proud of this album, in particular, as Ithink we've captured magic in this collection of songs recorded with amazingplayers and orchestral arrangements that could have been written in thesixties and that sound so familiar on first listen" says Stewart.
