Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler Release New Collaborative Album “brent iii”
American singer-songwriters Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler released their new collaborative album “brent iii” on November 1, 2024 via Mercury Records.
The project completes the brent trilogy, following the 2019 EP “brent” and the 2021 EP “brent ii”.
The album comprises 11-songs, produced by Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, Hazey Eyes and Kevin White, written by Chelsea Cutler, David Hodges, Jeremy Zucker and Kevin White.
They wrote and recorded the album between New York and California.
Jeremy chimes said of the album, “brent isn't just a comforting and safe place for us, it has also become one for so many fans. There's a lot of intimacy, authenticity, love, and friendship embedded in brent iii. brent iii is the culmination of everything we've been tapping into and making music about. I hope you listen to it, and it colors your moments, memories, and experiences. Maybe it can make things a little better.”- The pair said of the project, “Wow, we can't believe we are here. It has somehow been six years of creativity, inspiration, experimentation, laughter, honesty, vulnerability, good movies, good food, and good friendship. When we finally decided it was time to start working on brent iii, we agreed it would be best to give ourselves as much time as we needed. Over the course of the last year, we spent several weeks together in New York and California, writing and talking and enjoying what makes brent so special at its core: our friendship.”
They continued, “To our surprise, we ended up creating a full length album. With every single song on this record, we found that curious, magic feeling of brent. We'd be sitting next to each other at the piano, or we'd look at each other from across the studio, and we'd just smile because we both knew that we felt it in our chests. It was the same feeling we had in our chests when we were in the studio six years ago.” -
They said, “A lot of people ask us what 'brent' means. To be honest, we came up with the name after driving past a street sign called Brentwood RD, but it has taken on a meaning of its own. brent is a feeling: it is the smell of fall, the rustling of leaves, a warm hug, the sound of laughter, a candle burning in the night. It has become a familiar, comforting, special world for us to exist in. It has also become that for so many of you. it truly is a home away from home. The reality is, something truly special can never really last forever. we know we have challenged our luck and have beaten the odds by catching lightning in a bottle so many times. And now that we've written this album, we feel like we have given brent all we have.”
They added, “We are endlessly grateful that we met each other, that we spent a week together in a studio six years ago, and that you guys somehow understood our vision and decided to come along for thank you. The ride. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” - source : Apple Music
