Nearly two decades on from his debut, British singer-pianist Anthony Strong returns with And Then We Kiss…, a celebration of love pairing his long-standing quartet with a full string orchestra. Drawing on Broadway, the Great American Songbook and classic pop, the album brings together thirteen standards in newly crafted arrangements by Strong, expanded through the lush orchestrations of Callum Au (Michael Bublé, Quincy Jones, Jamie Cullum). From the passion of ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ to the playful charm of ‘No Two People’, the darker edge of ‘Love For Sale’ and a bossa nova reworking of ‘If You Leave Me Now’ featuring Pamina Beroff, the album explores love in all its forms. Known for his high-energy, hard-swinging performances worldwide, Strong reveals a more expansive, orchestral side here—an album for romantics, built on great songs and rich musical storytelling.
