Donkin has also released the single “Something Different,” a buoyant dance floor-ready song about change that pairs his honeyed vocals with flourishes of ‘70s and ‘80s touchstones like Earth, Wind & Fire and Prince.

The arrangements are harmonically sophisticated, drawing on the open tunings and intricate fingerpicking of English songwriters like Nick Drake or Richard Thompson. Ellis’s performances are similarly subtle and nuanced, tapping into the bittersweet longing of Chet Baker and the playful poignancy of Bill Evans and Jim Hall.

He also shared the stunning video for the title track “Yesterday’s News,” a wry tune that drifts like a cloud on the breeze as he channels a washed up singer on some dimly lit stage.
