During a recent phone conversation, actor and singer-songwriter Kiefer Sutherland wryly suggested he believes that sarcasm is a fantastic form of humor. He admits that his tendency to “kind of be cynical at moments” has often crept into his songwriting. However, during COVID-19 lockdowns, he was surprised by how upbeat his songwriting was.
He began writing songs that were much more positive than his usual style. On his third album, “Bloor Street,” which came out earlier this year, Sutherland strikes a more hopeful and joyful tone lyrically. He wrote eight of the 11 album’s songs while isolating at home.
