‘A BRAND NEW BATTLE’ – REVIEW BY KELVIN KNIGHT
A brand new fight ? The difficult second album ? Nah not a bit of it…..
Step blinking into the light Gareth this album sparkles and breaths long needed life into the singer/songwriter generation.
From the beautifully crafted ‘ Adrienne‘ and throughout this album Gareth proves he is a writer and musician more than worthy to his cause.
It’s just great anthem rock n roll ” Beat up” draws you in and keeps you close so tight and brilliantly delivered.
What Gareth does so so well is tell you this song is from the heart and his delivery is so well done..Crisp and clean and great to hear a musician enjoying what he does even in the angst of ” A brand new battle” .
With sticks and stones and for many reasons this album makes me happy and gives me hope…
It just has a great feel about it I love the vocals on ” Paint the town red” it has a vital feel.
This man has the world in his hands and I for one wouldn’t count him out of world domination he is that good.
Sweeping through a wonderful landscape that is ‘Brand new battle’ Gareth opens up his heart to the wonderful climax of ‘ Sleep with the girl‘ this man wears his heart on his sleeve and for that I salute him and for so many other reasons in a world of X Factor crassness i believe there is hope.
It’s a truly great album got me up and dancing around and got me thinking, is that not what great albums do ?
Looking forward to your next battle Gareth so far so very very good indeed.
