Gary Kemp - This Destination (Deluxe) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

THIS DESTINATION is Gary Kemp's most personal to date and sees the songwriter channel his own thoughts and feelings about the past, present and future through the guise of uncanny storytelling and character work. The album is simultaneously semi-autobiographical and an exercise in empathetic scene-setting.

The album features intricate and deliberate arrangements including strings by the renowned John Metcalfe (formerly of The Durutti Column and more recently string arranger to the likes of Peter Gabriel, Blur and U2).

“This Destination” features keys and backing vocals by longtime collaborator Toby Chapman who co-produced the album alongside Kemp at London’s Reformation and RAK studios.

Renowned bassist, Guy Pratt - who handled rhythm section duties for Pink Floyd circa 1987 onward - was called upon to play bass on some of the songs. Pratt’s previous work includes performances and cuts for Madonna, Roxy Music, The Smiths and Womack & Womack to name a few. The album’s closer features throat-singing by the Mercury Prize nominated Sam Lee.
