Jonathan Bree’s fifth studio album Pre-Code Hollywood is described
as a “dark disco” album full of “sad bangers”. Jonathan Bree has been
called a “master craftsman” by Allmusic and on his fifth solo album he
has synthesized his concept into refined and focused pop songs that
bring a sense of immediate nostalgia one might get when listening to a
John Hughes movie soundtrack or classic pop of a bygone era.
Bree sent a brave email to David Bowie’s Lets Dance and China Girl
producer “The Hitmaker” Nile Rodgers. Whether through good fortune,
fate or sheer luck - this resulted in the two collaborating on title track
Pre-Code Hollywood and superb single Miss You with Nile Rodgers
producing and performing guitar.
