Check out my latest album. You can purchase my albums on
iTunes or Google Play.
With this new album, What Can’t Speak Can’t Lie, I wanted to change the sound a bit. So I have tried different things for example on one of the tracks, Until the Wheels Fall Off, there is some keyboards, on another song, All for Show there is percussion. There is different things that come in and out, harmonica, piano, synthesisers, but they are there to just add a little bit of colour, or something a little bit different.
I have to come up with something a little bit different to make it not only interesting to listen to for myself, but for people who will buy it or stream it. I don’t want to make every record I do sound the same as the one before because if I did I wouldn’t enjoy it, and it keeps things interesting too.
The album title ‘What Can’t Speak Can’t Lie’ comes from a line in an episode of only fools and horses, which is my favourite program. One of my favourite songs on this record is Until the Wheels Fall Off, I think its an upbeat tune and a positive one as well, it was also one of my favourites to record for the album. Another song which is a catchy one, is the last track on the album, Live and Learn. That has a good sound to the whole thing, I love the sound of that one. I keep trying different things and see if they work, if they do, I keep them, if they don’t then I don’t use them.
