Newton Faulkner is an English artist who specialises in vocals and playing the guitar. He is best known for his dreaklocked hair and distinctive style. According to Wikipedia, his main influences come from the likes of Eric Roche, Tom Waits, Jurassic 5, Massive Attack, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, James Brown,Prince, Mr Hudson, Green Day, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Primus and Led Zeppelin. His debut album Handbuilt by Robots was released on the 30th July 2007 and rocketed to no 1 in the UK album charts, remaining there for 2 consecutive weeks.

When my friend leant me this CD months ago, I had never heard of the guy. I was doing some revision so thought I'd play the album in full at the same time as working.

The first thing that struck me was how many genres this CD could fit in to - rock / soft rock / pop / folk / indie / blues / accoustic - it really seems to have something for everyone!

It is a really relaxing, soothing CD with great songs to play whilst revising! It officially became the soundtrack to my revision!

The lyrics are pronounced with good diction so it is easy to sing along and also the songs make sense! You get the story he is trying to tell with his words, sometimes they are really humourous lyrics, sometimes loving etc.

I love this album, great songs all in their own special way, try it for yourself.

TRACK LISTING:
1. ) Intro
2. ) To The Light
3. ) I Need Something
4. ) All I Got
5. ) Dream Catch Me
6. ) Feels Like Home
7. ) Teardrop
8. ) Gone In The Morning
9. ) Sitar-y Thing
10. ) Uncomfortably Slow
11. ) Straight Towards The Sun
12. ) People Should Smile More
13. ) She's Got The Time
14. ) UFO
15. ) Face (Her)
16. ) Aging Superhero
17. ) Lullaby

Full fat has humorous lyrics, whereas uncomfortably slow is soothing and the lyrics are more passionate. UFO is my fave track on this album, because of its catchy tune, I find my self humming it all day!
