“This is an album from a man who's been on his knees and, through love and music,
has found the strength to get back to his feet; it could well do the same for you.”
Platinum recording artist and multi-instrumentalist, Ron Pope, has released his version of Harry Styles’ ‘Late Night Talking’earlier this month. Following an intimate show at the end of August at Blüthner Piano Centre for select media and fans in London. The showcase celebrated the release of Pope’s new album Inside Voices and previewed his upcoming 13-date UK and European headline tour.
Pope’s Inside Voices is an expertly crafted collection of songs about growth, heartache, lasting love, the joys of parenthood, and living with gratitude. Lead single ‘The Real Thing’ and its album-mates from Inside Voices were all created in the wake of the experience of nearly losing his wife in 2020, infusing renewed vitality into music written about a relationship that has been explored in song for nearly two decades and ten albums.
This is an album that was created in an emotional foxhole, written as Pope and his family recovered from his wife’s near death experience and recorded as he tragically lost both of his grandparents over one eight-day span. My grandparents were the kind of ‘crazy in love but also practical, good partners’ that we are,” Pope says. “They died eight days apart, right as we were working up this music. I waded through a river of darkness during that period and I damn near drowned in it, but when I came out the other side, I was so full of gratitude.”
The ten song journey leads listeners through his transition from son to husband and father, through grief and ultimately, back to joy. Pope made a name for himself in the early days of social media with the viral success of his song, ‘A Drop in the Ocean’ - which was shared completely organically and promoted independently, garnering collectively over one billion streams, causing his album, Daylight, to go platinum in the US and double-platinum in Sweden. Instead of stalling, Pope’s career has soared to new heights with each subsequent release.
