Playwright, director and singer songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage has returned to a pop palette with his most brilliant batch of classic ballads to date. His new album, “The Knowing” is a pivot; at once more subversive and yet more fashionable than ever before.
Savage engaged several collaborators on this record. Longtime accomplice Pascal Chenard recorded and produced the record with Savage in London, England, where Savage was born. The lead single, “Your Drug”, a reflective duet with Arbutus Records label mate Marci, both familiar and yet with an edgy bareness that allows it to recontextualize its nostalgic trope. Belgian singer songwriter David Numwami played guitar on the songs “Stranger Than Fiction” and “Wild Things” and artist JJ Weihl aka Discovery Zone co-wrote “Pink Bouquet”.
Cleverly tucked into the tracklist is a tender cover of Iggy Pop’s “Lust For Life”, somehow appropriately strummed softly in the vein of Green Days’ “Good Riddance”. Sean Nicholas Savage worked with Lulannie for the album artwork photos, which they took on their way out to a New Years Eve 2025 party in New York City. The song “I Love Everything About You” is about their relationship.
Sean Nicholas Savage’s “The Knowing” is out on June 27th 2025 via Born Losers Records and Mansions & Millions.
