Triptych

John Watts, as a constantly reinventing artist, has found that much of his work over the last 50 years of his musical career, revisits the same driving themes that are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago: Love, Power, People and how they interact with each other.

The forthcoming album, aptly titled "Triptych", brings these themes together by merging the three sections into one full album.

With his band Fischer-Z and "Triptych", Watts, known for songs such as "Red Skies Over Paradise" and "Cruise Missiles", continues to focus on current political crises and their social and interpersonal effects.

With songs such as "NEFERTETE" and "THE HAMBURG BEAT", he touches on the entire spectrum of human relationships, from the euphoria of first love to the tragic end. "THE PLEA" is about a Russian conscript who protests against the senselessness of war. John Watt's psychological background also flows into the work: For example, in the profound "THE ANAESTHETIST", a song about depression.

In the summer of 2022, Watts and his band, including Jamie Bush (drums), Marian Menge (guitar), Steve Forward (bass) and Adrien Rades (keyboards), retreated to a studio in the south of France for a week. Here the recordings concentrated on the essential elements - John Watts' voice and his unique talent with the guitar.

The acoustic guitar became the driving force of the album, providing the freedom to explore different themes and styles without compromising cohesion and sonic integrity.
