 my little review on Amazon site…« Pure first class for « Blind Faith » the new Black aka Colin Vearncombe’s album…it’s a brillant work with a professionnal team (recorded and produced by Calum Malcolm) each song has its own character.. melancolic blooming, swinging curves, passionate tenderness, deep textures…we can fall in love with..so i do
Since many years Colin composes, writes & put his voice and heart in beautiful and spellbinding melodies… »Blind Faith » is special because this is his first album where fans have participed to the process by pledging and it was a very good journey..i wish to « Blind Faith » now to fly away high and reach the chart!! i keep my fingers crossed..!!
