Following 'Lost In Sound', Fay Hallam's acclaimed collaboration with The Bongolian, Fay returns to Blow Up Records for a new solo album 'Corona'. Fay wrote the majority of the songs in a two day whirlwind writing session after returning from a tour of Italy, which ultimately inspired this atmospheric eclectic album. 'Corona' has absorbed Fay's love for the Bossa Nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Astrud Gilberto, the experimental productions of the Carpenters and the eclecticism of Beck. There's even a nod to the 50's pop of Frankie Laine with 'Giving Myself Away' and a sole cover: Paul McCartney's classic 'Maybe I'm Amazed' joins the new set of songs. With thoughts still fresh of driving through the Alps and soaking up the ambience, the songs took on a reflective mood displaying a softer, more atmospheric side to Fay's music. An almost nocturnal feel prevails at times, exemplified by album opener 'Se mi Ami', perfect for late night listening, whilst her love for Soul and Rhythm & Blues still shines through on songs such as 'Let Me Into Your Soul' and 'Sunny' Originally from Wolverhampton, vocalist and keyboard player Fay Hallam has performed over the years in acts such as Makin' Time (with a pre-The Charlatans Martin Blunt), The Prime Movers, Phaze and The Fay Hallam Trinity. She has worked with Billy Childish, Graham Day, Alan Crockford and other luminaries of the Medway Scene where she has lived for many years. LP - Heavy Weight 180 Gram Vinyl with Download Code.
