BRAND NEW
RECORD LABEL RELEASE CLIVE FARRINGTON’S
FIRST SOLO
ALBUM - “INDEPENDENCE”
July 4th, 2013
(Manchester, United Kingdom) - Manchester based music producer, Jon Brooks, teams up with Clive Farrington (lead vocalist - When
In Rome) to co-write and produce Clive’s first solo album ‘Independence’. The official release date is significant as 4th
July also represents Clive Farrington’s independent release outside of When in
Rome.
When in Rome had a No. 1
hit single in the USA called ‘The Promise’. It was released in 1988. In 2004, ‘The Promise’ was used as the end
title theme for the successful movie, ‘Napoleon Dynamite’. Due to unfortunate legal issues over the name
‘When In Rome’, Clive decided to go ahead with a solo album…
The new album exhibits a
fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day
electronic sound… as an addition to this, ‘Independence’
also boasts a hint of the 80’s too! It’s
already receiving extensive radio play and TMR Records have just negotiated and
licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation
CD. Some of the album’s tracks could be
classed as a cross between the ‘Pet Shop Boys’, David Guetta, Scott Walker and
Robert Miles. The songs are honest,
suitably original and highly emotive.
Clive: “I met Jon whilst working as a Technical Install Manager at Castle Rock
Studios in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, UK. The
CRS studio was being built by the fabulous TSP (The Studio People). At the same time, and unbeknownst to me, a
smaller version on the same design level as CRS was being built right around
the corner from my home in Stockport, Cheshire, UK! The builders on that project would come by
CRS and tell me about Jon Brooks and how he’s into film score projects… Right
up my street, I thought!!! Jon has a
Masters in Composition for Film and Television.
He had just relocated back to the UK after spending six years working as
an in-house composer for one of the best audio post-production studios in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. He specialised in
music composition and audio production for film, television and advertising. I wanted to get to know him and maybe put
something together. I dropped by Jon’s
studio and left my card with his father.
Jon called me a week later, and now… just listen to the new album and
breathe in the fabulous results!”
The new album ‘INDEPENDENCE’
is released on TMR (Tough Monkey Records) through Kobalt Label Services / AWAL
on July 4th 2013.
