A Message of Togetherness
For Michael and Tanya Trotter ‘Plus One' is a deeply personal and intentional project.
“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” shares Tanya Trotter.
“One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved,” adds Michael Trotter Jr.
Created in Music History
Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama ‘Plus One' follows the duo’s GRAMMY-nominated 2023 album ‘Lover’s Game.' Their hit single ‘Blank Page' earned a nomination for Best American Roots Song, while The War and Treaty themselves were recognised in the prestigious Best New Artist category.
To craft their most ambitious album yet, the duo teamed up with their longtime live band and collaborated with celebrated producers like Jonathan Singleton (Luke Combs), John Shanks (Stevie Nicks), and Jesse Frasure (Jelly Roll). The result is a genre-blending masterpiece featuring gospel, bluegrass, country, soul, symphonic pop, and folk-rock influences.
