‘Sketches’ is a new EP from Newton Faulkner before the release of his third studio album; ‘Write It On Your Skin’ on July 9th.
Newton Faulkner is an incredible
singer/songwriter who demonstrates his capability to perform flawlessly with
only his voice and an acoustic guitar. This in itself displays this mans’
unique talent.
‘Sketches’ is not a displeasure for
Faulkner’s fans as he has developed his style to a more professional level and
there is a sense he has reinvented himself.
As
always, Newton demonstrates how much of an incredible artist he really is by owning
the package of great musical talent and the ability to write amazing song. He’s
earned the place of a recording contract those years ago and we see why.
The
similarities between the four songs are simple; well written lyrics and greatly
composed musicality. However, they have something that make them diverse to
each other and make the listener wanting more.
“Write It On
Your Skin” has a change of tempo and power from the interlink from verse to chorus
back to verse. This change engages the listener because they may not expect it
within the song.
“From The
Bars” is
a basic song in the sense of keeping everything the same considering pace,
which is different compared to “Write It On Your Skin”. On the
other hand, “From The Bars” really shows off Newton Faulkner’s strong
vocals.
“Bricks” and “Feel” are tracks that
both display his great guitar techniques and his little signature flicks very
clearly. Also, they are very similar songs considering the way they’re sung as
they show the strong yet vulnerable side of Faulkner.
It’s
effortless to say that Newton Faulkner’s following are all eagerly
awaiting his new album especially since he’s been performing several pop up
shows around the country recently. ‘Write
It On Your Skin’ could be said to be one of the most anticipated albums of
the year so far.
