Singer-songwriter Will Connor is about to release his third album Sailing, Love and Food. The disc was inspired by the demise of Will’s relationship, and his newfound love affair with the sea.
Will is a singer who practices what he preaches. After recording the album inspired by the ocean, he set out to experience it first hand on an open sea voyage by kayak.
The singer-songwriter undertook the month-long journey last year to follow the humpback whales as they migrated down the eastern seaboard. The voyage tested his strength and endurance, but was also a thing of beauty as he interacted with these majestic creatures and spent nights sleeping underneath the stars. Something tells me another album’s going to come from his experiences on that journey!
“It was the weirdest thing,” said Will. “I wrote and recorded the album before I ever knew I would take the TransparentSea voyage. Every song on the album is either about sailing, love or food, or a combination of both. Of course there are a few other topics, but these themes forced their way through. So for me the adventure was truly one of those meant-to-be things that made me more aware of the fact me art follows life, and vice versa.”
Sailing, Love and Food will be released in Japan on April 7 and in Australia on April 12.
