Out pop/jazz vocalist and songwriter Liam Forde drops this totally swinging single, “When My World’s in Tune,” from his upcoming debut album Great to Be Here scheduled for release March 25. Liam Forde’s swinging new single, “When My World’s in Tune” Forde says he drew inspiration from “Quand ça balance,” penned by Oscar/Grammy-winning composer Michel Legrand. The song (which translates to “when it swings”) is “about the love of jazz and its ability to send the performer or listener into an ecstatic otherworldly dimension.” “My song ‘When My World’s in Tune,’ in addition to much of the new album, is about feeling out of tune with the world around me,” Forde explains. “I wanted the opening song on the record to be about the opposite: when I feel focused, confident, and like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJKlKxPVnF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “The energy, jazzy rhythms and melodies of this song are intended to conjure New York City’s frenetic sophistication,” he continues. “Then we came up with a cool horn lick and ‘When My World’s in Tune’ was born.” The track’s intro is the epitome of chill before Forde takes us on an artful organic build to the chorus where we find ourselves swinging on a jazzy hook alongside sassy horns and bold percussive beats. https://youtu.be/krv19fffRF0 Blending a vintage vibe with contemporary influences (like Jon Batiste, Lake Street Dive, and Ben Folds), Great to Be Here weaves colors and textures that reflect Forde’s personal musical viewpoint as he explores “how old world romance can exist in today’s age.” The New York-based singer and songwriter will celebrate the release of the new album with a concert on March 25 at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC.
