Even guests like Seal or Barry Manilow serve the overall goal: To create a journey that is all about the music.

“Working with many different vocalists on one album is a contractual nightmare.There are at least three amazing songs on my shelf that I cannot release because of all the business around the music.”

For Claptone, collaborations are not a marketing ploy. They‘re about reaching beyond personal limits. Never before has this been more apparent than on the project‘s current full-length Closer – a 14 track festival of styles and sounds. Even guests like Seal or Barry Manilow serve the overall goal: To create a journey that is all about the music.
