ALLEN JON Seven Dials

Popis:

Singer-songwriter Jon Allen returns with his highly anticipated seventh album ‘Seven Dials’, a raw and captivating exploration of the dark corners of 18th- century Covent Garden in London. Known for his soulful voice and masterful storytelling, Allen dalves deep into the heart of a time when the streets teemed with vice and debauchery. He paints a vivid picture of the struggle, sin, and survival that defined daily life in this infamous neighborhood. Inspired by the grim atmosphere and tales of Covent Garden's seedy underworld, ‘Seven Dials’ brings history to life through a modern musical lens. The album transports listeners to a world where poverty and despair bred crime, and morality was blurred by necessity. The title refers to a historic junction in the neighborhood, a gathering spot for society's outcasts, where life and lawlessness intertwined. With the rise of the Bow Street Runners, England's first professional police force, the streets witnessed early attempts at order amidst the chaos.
