Harry Connick Jr's new project puts the focus on his talents as not only a pianist and singer but as an arranger, orchestrator and conductor. The album sees him giving new life to an entire album of vintage Cole Porter compositions from the Great American Songbook.

The artistic bond runs deep between Porter and Connick, both master craftsmen of song creation in both music and lyrics. The modern-day artist set the bar high when he took on the True Love project, for which he first selected the songs to reinhabit, then wrote and orchestrated the arrangements. Connick then both assembled and conducted the orchestra, which comprises his longtime touring band, additional horns and a full string section.

"This is the first time I've taken a deep dive into another artist's repertoire," says Connick, "and Cole Porter was my #1 choice for the project. His lyrics are witty and nuanced and he takes risks as a composer that I find appealing."
