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.
The new album 'INDEPENDENCE' is released on TMR (Tough Monkey Records) through Kobalt Label Services / AWAL on July 4th 2013.
'Invisible' from Clive Farrington's solo album 'Independence' highlights cyber bullying abuse, fake profiles, spammer and malicious virus writers. This amazing song features the amazing voice overs of Steve Benz (WSDI Worldwide) and DJ 1Love (Paul Todd). See below for lyrics. Please like, comment and share this video to spread the word.

--------------- LYRICS --------------- NARRATIVE 1: (DJ 1LOVE -- Paul Todd) "It is being reported that over 40% of new internet profiles are actually fake. Why are so many people setting up fake profiles?" VERSE 1: It's time to dance Like no one's watching Trust yourself And no cross talking Believe in love No bad religion Fool no one Your dreams fulfilling CHORUS: Out of all the places we could be We lose ourselves so easily Do not mistake identity INVISIBLE There are times when fortunes favour me And times that I no longer see But all the way, I find the game INCREDIBLE NARRATIVE 2: (STEVE BENZ -- WSDI Worldwide) "Fake profiles are set up by a combination of either spammers and virus writers, or people attempting to say malicious things without the risk of being caught... They believe they are so called -- INVISIBLE -- They're about to find out they aren't INVISIBLE, any longer... I - I - I — I — I - I - INVISIBLE I - I — I - I - I - INVISIBLE INVISIBLE" VERSE 2: Take yourself To the top of the mountain Breathe the air Like no one's counting Now it's time to rise Above the bar now You will reach The furthest star now CHORUS: Out of all the places we could be We lose ourselves so easily Do not mistake identity INVISIBLE There are times when fortunes favour me And times that I no longer see But all the way, I find the game INCREDIBLE NARRATIVE 3: (DJ 1LOVE -- Paul Todd) "Only 1 in 10 victims will inform a parent or trusted adult of cyber bullying abuse... Cyber bullying abuse is the use of the internet and related technologies to harm other people in a deliberate, repeated and hostile manner... Why are so many people setting up fake profiles?" NARRATIVE 4: (STEVE BENZ -- WSDI Worldwide) "Fake profiles are set up by a combination of either spammers and virus writers, or people attempting to say malicious things without the risk of being caught..." CHORUS: Out of all the places we could be We lose ourselves so easily Do not mistake identity INVISIBLE There are times when fortunes favour me And times that I no longer see But all the way, I find the game INCREDIBLE How lonely must your cold life be If all the world but you can see The dull cast shadow that you leave INVISIBLE ----------------------------------------------------------

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 unbeknown 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!"
