Stuart Newman releases debut album 'Single But Defective'

Stuart Newman releases debut album 'Single But Defective' 27th September 2010

Newcomer Stuart Newman is a true artist, with his thought provoking, quirky lyrics, haunting and diverse vocal delivery, and propensity to think outside of the box.

His debut album, Single But Defective, showcases Stuart's multiple talent as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist. The stripped down sound reveals a highly sensitive and thoughtful soul, who's uniqueness and depth shines through these original songs.

The acoustic album, has folk and blues elements, with an underlying pop sensitivity. Stuart, a daydreamer, writes songs as they come to him. The dream-like "If You Say," for instance, was written after listening to some John Lennon recordings, picking up a guitar, and laying down the track in moments.

Other tracks, such as the unique sounding "Cry Wolf" was spot played on BBC 6 Music and made it on their weekly podcast, as well as "51st State", a cutting track about the political state of the U.S, was originally a poem turned into a song.

Hailing from near the musical hub of Brighton, Newman places his influences all across the board; The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, REM, Nirvana, Green Day, Radiohead, and the list goes on. These influences can be seen in Newman's penchant for creating what he calls "Mellow musings that resonate, with quirkiness thrown in."

Single But Defective was written, performed and produced by Stuart Newman himself, and recorded in his own home. As a music lover, and believer in sharing art with the world, the album is available for free download at ­­­­ http://stuartnewman.bandcamp.com or check his Myspace page.
