Yesterday, Thursday 19th January, Paul began promotional work for his new album ‘Kisses On The Bottom’, set for release in February. Paul spent the day giving interviews to press from all around the world at London’s Hempel Hotel. Part of the day was streamed exclusively live, here! […]

Talking about his experiences recording the new album and working with legendary producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall, Paul was speaking to journalists from around the world including Samir Koeck (Die Press, Austria), Juliana Resende (Época, Brazil), Ross Porter (Jazz FM, Canada), Alan Corr (RTE Guide, Ireland), Shane Hegarty (The Irish Times, Ireland), Jose Antonio Martinez Lopez (Reactor, Mexico), Gry Blekastad Almås (NRK, Norway), Menno Pot (de Volkskrant, Netherlands), Eva Grau (Femina, Switzerland), Hans Peter Künzler (NZZ, Switzerland), Yuko Takano (freelance, Japan), Guillaume Decherf (METRO, France), Michael Pilz (freelance, Germany) and Martin Scholz
(freelance, Germany).

From For Whom The Bell Tells, March 19, 2012:

Ahead of the release in late January Paul did an international press day in London to talk ‘Kisses…’ In a nutshell, this is when all the world’s media fly in and we somehow come up with a way of them all getting a bit of access to the big man. So throughout the day Paul did a series of interviews and mini press conferences. Paul was on great form and kept up the good humour throughout the day which made my job a hell of a lot easier even if we had to spend a lot of it avoiding excited journalists hidden in various locations hoping to get an autograph. Paul even found time to give us some tips on what TV to watch  he’d spent the previous evening glued to Nigerian X Factor no less! During the day Paul then had the idea to stream some of the press day live so everyone could see what was going on. Finally right at the end of the day Paul chatted with Jamie Cullum for his Radio 2 show and the result was fantastic. If you’ve not checked it out yet, you really should; it’s a fantastic and insightful interview about the album.
