Luke Marzec - Broken Promises - Live In The Studio

Broken Promises (Live in the studio) Stripped back trio performance of Luke Marzec's lead single Broken Promises

“This album is about holding onto the old while stepping into the new. It’s a dialogue between the warmth and authenticity of the past and the stark, often dispassionate realities of our digital age,” says British multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Luke Marzec about his ambitious two-part debut album, Something Good Out of Nothing (out today, August 15, 2025 via Swift Half Records). The album is a bold reflection on nostalgia, passion, and the paradoxes of modern life and fuses vintage soul, jazz, and cutting-edge electronic elements to create a sound both timeless and contemporary.

With a unique release strategy in which he released the first half of the album (Part A) independent of its flipside (Part B) back in March, the continuation of the release with the full album being released today on vinyl and re-introduced digitally deepens the album’s exploration of modern life, memory, and meaning.

A highlight on the album is the newest single “Broken Promises,” with the live performance video out today the song is a stylish sunshine-soaked pop gem that sees his powerful gravely vocals really reach into the deep emotions of a broken relationship with real feeling, as his brass work swings and sways conjuring nostalgia and hazy memories of summers gone by. There’s the feeling of classic soul records intertwined with modern influences and Luke’s own storytelling that makes for a truly satisfying and soul stirring listening experience.

The album opens with “I Can’t Get You Out of My Mind,” an electrifying fusion of funk, soul, and jazz, delving into the emotional turbulence of heartbreak with synth arpeggios that swirl before dropping into a mesmerizing groove, Marzec immediately showcases his ability to blend classic songwriting with forward-thinking production. Next up is “Growing Up With You,” a tribute to the relationships that shape us, rooted in vintage R&B textures, hypnotic grooves, and intricate instrumental layering. Inspired by the windswept landscapes of Dartmoor, England, Marzec manipulates a haunting saxophone drone through his Morphagene sampler, layering it with drums, bass, and piano to evoke the bittersweetness of nostalgia and the comfort of lifelong connections.

The album also features Marzec’s previous single “Space To Be Free,” a slow-burning, soulful anthem rooted in protest and poetic clarity. The song channels Marzec’s reflections on the U.K.’s economic inequality, digital alienation, and the quiet joys that capitalism often erodes (community, creativity, and stillness). Inspired by the classic sounds of soul and R&B and Bob Marley’s universal message of unity amidst the stark realities of present-day life in the U.K., Marzec fuses warm analog textures, soulful vocals, and experimental production into a track that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Marzec burst onto the scene with his 2018 EP Chances which received critical acclaim from publications such as DIY and The Line Of Best Fit and over the next couple of years he released two more EPs and gained writing and production experience co-writing with artists in the U.K. such as Maverick Sabre, VC Pines, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Jazzanova. He also featured on Johannes Brecht’s “Voicing Something” which was remixed by Adriatique. A classically and jazz-trained musician, Marzec studied at the Royal College of Music and Trinity Conservatoire in London. He continues to push creative boundaries as the host of Headroom, a London-based jam session featuring top jazz and electronic musicians, and as a member of the experimental synth-jazz group Lazy H and the Loose Cables. As he limbers up to launch the second part of Something Good Out Of Nothing, Marzec’s Spotify page now has more than 15 million plays.

At its core, Something Good Out of Nothing is a meditation on living with passion, embracing life’s contradictions, and staying connected to what truly matters. Influenced by the soulful warmth of Motown and the raw energy of experimental sound design, Marzec employs instruments like the Prophet synth in addition to the Morphagene sampler to reimagine classic sounds for a new era.

“I go to the countryside to reflect on life’s essentials—love, friendship, adventure. It’s where everything feels honest,” Marzec explains. “But I also thrive in the city, with its chaos, its color, its creativity. Both are essential; they complement each other.” This interplay of old and new, sincerity and cynicism, history and modernity lie at the heart of Something Good Out of Nothing. Marzec weaves these paradoxes into his music, creating a sonic bridge between eras, emotions, and perspectives.

The live performance video for “Broken Promises” is out today. His debut album Something Good Out Of Nothing is also out today on vinyl and digital via Swift Half Records.
