Read More Some of you may know Paul Colman from the Paul Colman Trio or as a solo artist and some of you may know him as the guitarist from the Newsboys, and now you're going to know Paul as a solo artist again after being the Newsboys guitarist for 3 years he has decide to leave the band and pursue his solo career again.
His newest album History is really a 'best of Paul Colman' album and contains some of the best songs he has written, contains some covers of songs from well known artists such as Delirious? among others and also contains some new songs (All U Need and The Killing Tree).
This album is really an album to introduce you to Paul Colman's style, gaining new fans and bringing back old fans as he is back on the scene as a solo artist and is looking at releasing a few digital EPs soon. It is what it is titled, a History album of the history of Paul Colman to date.
The two new songs would I guess point towards his new style which is basically one voice, one guitar, apart from The Killing Tree, which contains lots of guitary sounds. Both are along the style of the Paul Colman Trio song Fill my cup which is also included on the album . The album is a bit of a mix of songs and doesn't always flow, as it really is just a collection of new and old.
I would recommend this to Paul Colman fans, and people who like slow ballad style pop, though its hard to say as it is a mixture of old and new styles, mainly old, I would say to listen to some samples before you buy. Overall I was not hugely impressed but I liked some of the album, it was good to hear some of the old tunes such as Turn, Run and Gloria, and I did also like the cover of History Maker.
