KCRW Highlights Patrick Watson’s Collaboration With Martha Wainwright

Patrick Watson had “Today’s Top Tune” on Santa Monica’s KCRW last Wednesday, January 28, with “House On Fire, “a stunning new collaboration with Martha Wainwright from his album Uh Oh. Written during a period when Watson temporarily lost his ability to sing (and completed alongside Wainwright) the track unfolds as a deeply moving duet. Carried by a sweeping string arrangement, their interwoven harmonies heighten the song’s emotional tension, with Wainwright’s powerful, multi-octave voice beautifully contrasting Watson’s tender tenor.” Check that out here.
