One of my favorite interviews with Joe Jackson, this piece offers an engaging and insightful look into both his career and creative mind. Throughout the conversation, Jackson reflects on his journey as a successful artist, his time studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London, and the evolution of his songwriting process.
He also delves into the inspiration behind his work, including his Grammy Award-winning album Symphony No. 1, sharing how his classical influences intersect with his roots in punk and new wave. His thoughts on punk rock and the artists who shaped that era add an extra layer of depth, especially for longtime fans.
The interview is further enriched by stories from his time living in Berlin and New York, giving a glimpse into how different environments have influenced his music. Interspersed throughout are intimate solo live performances, making the experience feel both personal and immersive.
New track:
I’ll be seeing Joe Jackson again this summer, and I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been a while since I’ve caught one of his shows, so this feels especially exciting. If you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing him live—his new Hope and Fury tour (also the title of his latest album) is shaping up to be something special.
