The first is right there in the title. His debut was In the Key of Grey, a reflection of its somber mood and post-breakup theme. This one’s called Blue Pastoral—big, expansive, rich, colorful, covering everything from fizzy samba-surf exotica to twinkling cocktail jazz. Dorrien opened the last album singing, “Baby, I’m so lost”; three songs into this one, over caramel-colored strings, he sings, “Baby, I’m so happy our paths crossed.” “I think that’s the overarching theme of this record,” Dorrien says. “I went on tour with Courtney Marie Andrews last year, and I had a lot of fun with her and her band, but performing alone at the piano every night—especially as a relative unknown—has a way of making you keenly aware of your insignificance. I began to realize that I have someone at home who I love, and who loves me, and I’m okay with being anonymous, as long as I’m someone to her.” It was a lesson that took a long time to learn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e1.
