    Released: 14 July 2008

Sentimental Me is the fourth studio album by Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow. Released on 14 April 2008, the album was preceded by the single "Take a Letter, Miss Jones".[2]

The album sees Marti explore new territory, taking on a number of classic jazz standards, together with multi-award winning jazz pianist Jim Watson. All instrumentation was arranged by Marti himself, with a stronger focus on the tempo, enabling a move away from the big band feel usually associated with some of these tracks.[3] The album includes one original composition, "Chicago Rose", written with frequent collaborators Chris Difford and James Hallawell.

The album's only single was "Take a Letter Miss Jones", which was released on 14 July 2008.

Tour

The album was promoted with the Songs for Lovers tour, a 14-date run which took place throughout April 2008.[5]
