New Release "Addictions" is Addictive
Flynsolo's new release, "Addictions," brings an all-embracing mix of Americana, rock, classical, and jazz but never strays from the pop music idiom. The lyrical and musical themes are unique yet accessible, and they immediately resonate in the hearts and minds of all who listen. The new album boasts delicate arrangements, velvety textures, anthemic choruses, and flawless performances.
"With this truly addictive CD, we want to cast a gentle light on the problems that comes along with being addicted," explains David Knight. The "Addictions" album is dedicated to people in recovery of any kind of addiction.
Contribution by Prolific Musicians
Flynsolo recruited for "Addictions" an all-star roster of some of the most well-respected and prolific musicians in the music industry. Liberty DeVitto wrote elaborate drum parts for the entire Addictions album.
