ROLAND GIFT "roland gift" 2002
solo career stats:
studio albums.............1
singles.......................2
this album: no chart action
single:
"its only money".........#123 UK
i guess that after thirteen years between albums('the raw and the cooked' was the previous one), and a debut solo record that the buying public
at large have generally moved on to newer pastures whic is why this one didnt sell....
this album has the trademark sound of his Fine Young Cannibals abound....
Gifts trademark unique vocal style and distinct sound is still here...
the lyrics are good...that of a matured man with a bit of life-reflection happening in places...
it is slick and glossy with the crisp sounds of a FYC album...
basically, the guy is a class act with the overall sounds he gets as a pop singer...
but, there is nothing brilliant on htis one, just a good all-round album of fine songs....
Gift is apparently currently in the studio as i type recording a follow-up to this one...another thirteen year gap...WTF???
