Passion (J. C. Schütz album)


Passion is the first album by Swedish singer and songwriter Johan Christher Schütz, originally released in 2004 in Sweden and Japan.
In 2009, Passion was released again, this time worldwide and including two bonus tracks, previously only available on the Japanese edition.
The album was recorded between 2003 and 2004, with Schütz as composer of all tracks, arranger and producer. The album uses a colourful instrumentation with accordion, vibraphone, strings and flute, on top of the guitar/piano/bass/drums arrangements. The bonus tracks were recorded in 2007.
Following the success in Japan, Japanese musical theatre production company Takarazuka Revue, which has a 100-year-old tradition of producing Broadway-like shows with all-female actors, translated the title song Passion into Japanese for their show Reimei no Kaze / Passion in 2008, which was released on both CD and DVD.
