Most of the new album was written in the countryside near Bordeaux, during breaks from Jonathan’s first tour of France, before the album was finally recorded in a monumental church in Amsterdam with a 20-piece string orchestra. Basically, “Horsepower For The Streets” is a concept album in eleven chapters that thrives on the lasting pain and fragility

The songs on it capture a special groove of earlier decades, with strumming guitars, majestic strings and warm, nostalgic harmonies. This is also the case with the title track, on which Jonathan’s vibrant, soulful voice and the profound lyrics meet a groovy rhythm section and strings à la Lalo Schifrin, Michael Kiwanuka or Terry Callier.
