Don't Call It Love

Officially a double album spanning 17 tracks, Don’t Call It Love is an erotic concept driven work exploring sexuality and featuring collaborations with women across music, film, photography, and dance. The album’s steamy standard was set with single “Live To Dance,” featuring Princess Chelsea, which was accompanied by a strictly adults-only video which paid homage to Duran Duran’s The Chauffeur, featuring ballerina and cabaret artist Bella Filbey, whose exposed, erotic pose is the centerpiece of Don’t Call It Love’s striking cover. Fans have drawn comparisons to the darkly nostalgic tones of New Order and Siouxsie & The Banshees, with Bree’s sound reaching an ’80s-soaked, melancholic destination – his trademark orchestral arrangements now paired with a stark noir aesthetic, cinematic instrumentation, and his brooding baritone. “On the surface one might ask, ‘What’s sexy about Jonathan Bree?’ He’s 40 plus years old, he’s far from a pop star and he’s from 10,000 miles away, but when you get beyond the surface there’s something very sexy about Jonathan Bree...” - Nile Rodgers
