THANK YOU, Julian Lennon, for the recognition 🙂

Our song “End of the Day” from the album Eyes inspired the musician, so he chose it as THE BEST song of the week in his BZB radio podcast! “Below Zero serving up sexy chillout for over a decade”, that’s how Below Zero Beats Radio defines themselves and we couldn’t agree more! The radio with the finest chillout music ever.

Let us share a brief interview with Julian Lennon where he shows his genuine beautiful being…

“If I was gonna write again I had to live again I had to look deep inside myself and start again.” So says Julian Lennon of his decision to return to the music industry after an absence of seven years. Indeed at the start of this decade, it seemed unlikely that Julian would ever record again. Despite the fact that he launched his career with the international hit single ‘Too Late for Goodbyes,’ despite the fact that between the years 1984 and 1991 he released four albums with combined sales of five and a half million, Julian had tired of the media circus.

His original independent label Charisma records had become absorbed into a major, and his success had attracted some “advisors” who were more than ready to relieve Julian of his income: “Control over your career is so important. How can you express yourself when other people are trying to do it for you?”

So Lennon quit. He spent the next few years living the life he had previously been denied during his punishing schedule. Relaxing in his lakeside house in Northern Italy. Sailing, Travelling. Accumulating antiques, rifling through flea markets. Anything that didn’t involve the dreaded ‘m’-word.

During this time Julian even considered other career options: “I needed to think about a life outside the industry. I’ve always been interested in architecture and interior design and even cooking but in the end, I started playing again because of my love of music – and I didn’t want to walk away from it all with the last four albums as a legacy!”

However, this time around things had to be different. A chance meeting with producer Bob Rose (Roy Orbison, Edie Brickell) drew Julian back to the studio. He assembled supporting musicians including Simon Edwards (Fairground Attraction) on bass, Manny Elias (Tears for Fears) on drums, multi-instrumentalist Donal Lunny, guitarists Justin Clayton (Julian’s longtime friend and co-writing partner), Matt Backer and Robbie Blunt. The result was over an album’s worth of material.

He has returned as an Author, Photographer and brings a new full album release called ‘Everything Changes’.

‘Through The Picture Window’, is a feature-length documentary and groundbreaking App available now!  Julian Lennon releases his amazing DVD and APP on December 11th, 2013.  Take a peek into the story that explores different sides of Lennon by showing the recording of the full-length album as well as a deep look into his spectacular photography.

“It [the documentary] deals with some of the past issues, a lot of ideas and thoughts,” he said. “There was a lot of realizations that came to be out of doing the documentary because it involves of dear, dear friends from the music industry as well, like Bono, and many other guys who have been around and observed me from the early days. And they put their two cents in, too.”
