Acclaimed Pop-Jazz Singer-Songwriter Steven Blane will unveil his latest musical offering, “Songs for New York Lovers” on March 15, 2023.
Blane is also a Rabbi and Cantor who leads High Holiday Services at The Bitter End in NYC. He is the founder and Dean of JSLI Jewish Spiritual Leaders’ Institute and the Rabbi of Sim Shalom, the world’s uniquely online synagogue.
The album features 13 original songs that embody Blane’s signature blend of jazz, pop, and Americana stylings. Blane, a multi-instrumentalist known for his piano, guitar, and ukulele skills, has been compared to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Billy Joel across his nine full-length releases.
The Huffington Post praised Blane’s unique sound, stating “Stylistically, Blane fits in the Americana category. But there’s more going on in his music than simply Americana. There’s a pop influence in there, along with a 1950’s rock vibe that gives his sound a unique signature. It’s much different from the usual run-of-the-mill stuff most bands turn out today.”
Blane has been consistently releasing albums in recent years, including “The Met” (2022), “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” (2021), “Motel Blue” (2020), “I Walk Alone” (2019), and “So New York” (2018) which Seattle PI described as “grand! The album is full of vintage jazz/pop aromas giving off tantalizing wisps of elusive familiarity similar to the heady music of the ’40s and ’50s. Steven Blane’s voice is deliciously deluxe, full of lush tones.”
During the pandemic, Blane journaled his experiences, and one of his lyrics was featured in an article in Vanity Fair. Blane is also a resident artist at Shrine and Silvana in Harlem, NYC .
“Songs for New York Lovers” will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 15, 2023.
