Canadian-American saxophonist, multireedist, and composer Colin Stetson unveiled the music video performance for his latest single, “The Love It Took To Leave You,” today.
Serving as the lead track from his upcoming album of the same name, slated for release on September 13, 2024, via Envision Records for Canada and Invada for international distribution, Stetson once again delivers an epic, thrilling experimental jazz masterpiece that fans have come to expect from him.
About the track by Colin:
Written some years ago but always intended as the cornerstone of an album, the first single and title track, “The love it took to leave you,” pulses into view from a forlorn and alien distance.
Voiced through alto saxophone it sets a scene saturated with yearning—ruminating on the conflicted aches and oscillations that arise from love lost, the grasping, the collapse; and the rebuild, the struggle for dignity, self-compassion, and finally liberation.
It’s a composition Colin’s been performing for several years, waiting for the right context to bring its full emotional and musical anatomy to life.
