Ian Fleming - From Ian With Love CD 2014

Ian Fleming – From Ian With Love

Though The Wrong One was Ian Fleming’s debut solo release, From Ian With Love was actually recorded first. Captured during a period of creative transition, the collection documents Fleming teaching himself to navigate the new digital recording world as the industry shifted away from analog tape. The result is an album that feels raw, immediate, and deeply personal — the sound of an artist learning in real time while refusing to lose the soul that defined his earlier work.

These songs may be less polished than what followed, but they carry an unmistakable honesty. From Ian With Love isn’t a set of rough sketches — it’s a rare window into the process of transformation, filled with strong songwriting and emotional truth. Each track reflects both a learning curve and a love letter to the craft of making music itself.

“I spent so much time recording those songs — they deserved to come out,” Fleming says. “They were part of me learning how to make records on my own, in a new way.”

Released after The Wrong One but recorded before it, From Ian With Love stands as the bridge between eras — the analog ghost haunting the digital dawn, and the first real glimpse of the voice that would soon define Ian Fleming’s solo identity.
