‘Losing You’ on Jamie Cullum BBC Radio 2

Jamie Cullum plays ‘Losing You’, the title track from the full album out now on Impossible Ark Records:

‘What a superb track that is… It’s a really interesting record, more of a Rhythm and Blues, country-blues influence, as well as the jazz in there on this whole album.  Beautifully produced, it’s a wonderful sounding record, it has some real eclectic moments on it… A really great step forward for Sara and I highly recommend you listen to the whole album.’ Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2, 30/06/15.
