About this album

Scott 2 is a pivotal 1968 album that shows Scott Walker moving decisively beyond pop stardom into richly theatrical, introspective songcraft. Following his solo debut, he leans into orchestral arrangements, cabaret melancholy and chanson influence, shaping a record that feels both elegant and uneasy. Walker’s deep baritone gives unusual weight to songs such as Jackie and The World’s Window, while his interpretations of material by Jacques Brel and others underline his growing ambition as a vocalist and interpreter. The album helped establish the distinctive artistic identity that would define the rest of his career and remains one of his most admired early solo statements.
