Sentimental Me is the fourth studio album by Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow. Released on 14 April 2008, the album was preceded by the single "Take a Letter, Miss Jones".[2]
The album sees Marti explore new territory, taking on a number of classic jazz standards, together with multi-award winning jazz pianist Jim Watson. All instrumentation was arranged by Marti himself, with a stronger focus on the tempo, enabling a move away from the big band feel usually associated with some of these tracks.[3] The album includes one original composition, "Chicago Rose", written with frequent collaborators Chris Difford and James Hallawell.
The album's only single was "Take a Letter Miss Jones", which was released on 14 July 2008.
Sentimental Me was not a commercial success. The album debuted and peaked at number 87 on the Scottish Albums Chart on 26 April 2008.[4] The album debuted at number 4 on the UK's Jazz & Blues Albums Chart, appearing on that chart for five consecutive weeks.
The album was promoted with the Songs for Lovers tour, a 14-date run which took place throughout April 2008.[5]
