SOLIDARITY by Long Tall J

London based Dutch progger Long Tall J is back with his fourth album. Inspiring and dramatic, powerful and poetic, the album’s ten tracks explore themes ranging from war and passionate love to personal fulfilment and global solidarity.

Long Tall J says about it:

“The concept of the Solidarity album was conceived in as early as 2022. In a world becoming more and more individualistic and where populism is getting normalised and mainstream, I felt I wanted to counter this via my music. The war in Ukraine, the total drama in Israel and Gaza and the general polarisation that we see, contributed further to this idea.”

“Without my nine fabulous contributors the end result wouldn’t be even near to where it is now.
Solidarity is a prog album that flirts with different styles. Originally I am a guitarist but the role of the guitar is balanced with all the other instruments. This created a lot more variation and diversity which I am really happy about.”

Vocals play a much bigger role on this album. Two vocalists take care of six tracks and one track has spoken word. Only three tracks are instrumental.

Long Tall J is a Dutch guitarist and music producer living in London, UK. His musical style is a fusion of Prog and Melodic Rock. Melody and atmosphere are key to his work and all albums include a number of international cooperations. For more info:
