Taller is the eighth studio album by British jazz musician Jamie Cullum,released through Island Records on 7 June 2019.
Cullum divulged that the title of the album was a reference to attention toward his height in comparison to that of his wife,Sophie Dahl,quipping that he "managed to completely break one of the laws of the universe by marrying a taller woman and it was quite interesting how much that was talked about". [1]
During the 2018 Montreux Jazz Festival,Cullum premiered the tracks "Taller" and "Mankind" from the album. [2] The album's title track was made available along with pre-orders of the album in May 2019. [3] Ahead of its release,two additional songs were made available on music streaming services:"Drink" and "The Age of Anxiety" on 8 May and 31 May,respectively.
Cullum announced in May 2019 that he was set to embark on a tour across the United Kingdom to support the album in March 2020. [4] In Dave Simpson's review of Cullum's performance at the York Barbican for The Guardian ,he deemed some of Cullum's routines "well-worn" but praised Cullum's versatility as well as his "aplomb". [5]
Awarding the album four stars out of five,Matt Collar of AllMusic regarded Taller as "sophisticated and emotionally unguarded". [6] The album was also chosen as one of the Evening Standard 's albums of the week on 7 June 2019. Writing for the publication,Andre Paine deemed the album a "bold reinvention". [7] Conversely,Steven Wine of the Associated Press noted that the album was "stylistically scattershot" but that "there’s something for everyone". [8]
