Nigel Brown's "Here Comes The Truth": A nostalgic ode to timeless sound
In the ever-evolving world of music, where trends come and go like fleeting gusts of wind, Nigel Brown stands as a steadfast guardian of timeless sound. With his eleventh studio album, "Here Comes The Truth," Brown not only reaffirms his musical prowess but also takes listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the golden eras of rock and pop.
The album opens with a promise in its title, and it delivers from the very first note. Brown's musical journey, marked by his multifaceted talents as a songwriter, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist, finds its centerpiece in "Here Comes The Truth." As the album unfolds, it becomes evident that this isn't just another collection of songs but a heartfelt expression of an artist who has honed his craft to perfection.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the album is Brown's versatility. He not only pens each song but also handles a multitude of instruments himself, while his son, Charlie, takes the drumming duties. This familial collaboration infuses the album with an organic and genuine quality that is increasingly rare in today's music landscape.
The sonic landscape of "Here Comes The Truth" is a delightful homage to the glorious 60s and 70s soundscapes. The strumming, jangling guitars, the tight rhythm section, and the smooth vocal harmonies transport listeners back to an era when music was a magical journey of self-discovery. It's a sound that draws influences from legends like Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Mark Knopfler, and The Beatles.
Each track feels like a carefully crafted work of art, where every note, every chord change, and every lyrical line serves a purpose. Whether it's the heartfelt balladry or the more upbeat and groovy moments, there's a genuine, honest quality to the music that is profoundly moving.
As "Here Comes The Truth" unfolds, it becomes apparent that this album is not just a collection of songs but a reflection of Nigel Brown's artistic journey. It's a journey that has led him to the sound he's always wanted to create—a sound that captures the essence of his musical heroes and infuses it with his own unique spirit.
