Burt Bacharach says recording new music during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a “lifesaver” for him.<\/p>\n

The 92-year-old music legend and Nashville singer\/songwriter Daniel Tashian recently released five-track EP ‘Blue Umbrella’, the first fresh material from Burt for 15 years.<\/p>\n

Although they finished the EP before lockdown started, the songwriting duo continued to work on more songs, including one track titled ‘Quiet Place’, as coronavirus spread across the US.<\/p>\n

Burt admits getting to work with Daniel felt like “therapy” for him during as he isolated at his home in Pacific Palisades, California, with his wife Jane Hansen.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Texarkana Gazette, he said: “In these times it’s like a lifesaver, while being terrified at what’s happening outside. It’s a form of therapy.”<\/p>\n

Daniel, 45, admits the opportunity to work with Burt has been an amazing experience because he’s such a fan of his back catalogue, which includes songs such as ‘This Guy’s In Love With You’, ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head’ and ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love’.<\/p>\n

Speaking about their collaboration, Daniel – who won two Grammys in 2019 for his role as a songwriter and producer on Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Golden Hour’ – said: “They say when the student is ready, the teacher appears. It’s a great thrill. There is a whole world of sound in his head that is so pleasing to be able to collaborate with.<\/p>\n

“I remember going into Burt’s writing room. There are a lot of trophies in there. I was thinking, ‘Man, if I had done half the stuff you’ve been able to do, I’d probably just put my feet up a little bit.’ He corrected me right away. He said, ‘You don’t want to put your feet up. You want to say, What’s next?’ “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
