Hitmaking veteran Jonathan Butler back with new album

SOUTH AFRICAN-born singer and guitarist Jonathan Butler, who has won accolades in the R&B, contemporary jazz and gospel fields, will have a new album, 'Grace And Mercy', released on Rendezvous Music on 25th September. After years of touring the globe Butler takes a less frenetic showbiz path. He said, "These days I try to do a little bit of living in between. I balance my life. I've got to spend time living, and through living you come up with stories to talk about and songs to write. These songs are personal experiences. People always assume that because you're a recording artist and you travel the world that you don't have problems and you don't have disappointments in your life, which is not true. We all do. This album truthfully and honestly lets people know that the songs that I'm writing are the things that I'm going through in this season. I'm hoping those songs will effect people in a positive and wonderful way."
