New Album! “Blue Eyed Soul” – Clyve
So, the new album by Clyve came out on Friday, I co wrote one song on it with him and he worked with amazing Bristol based producers Andrea Succi and Danny McMahon at Puzzle Maker studios. The demo for “Night Train” had been in existence for a while, and I thought with Clyve’s blend of neo soul, funk, R&B and classic vibes, this would suit him down to the ground. His band have played it live a few times and they’ve done a stellar job. It’s available on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and all other platforms.
