Bio
U.K Vocalist, Songwriter, Musician, Graphic Artist, Master Of Ceremonies, Phat Boy, Soulsmith, Funkateer, Love Fool, collaborator and Professional Human Being GREG BLACKMAN proudly presents his debut album THE PRICE OF LOVE, out now on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Spotify and all major online platforms. Hard Copies coming soon from the now-under-construction GregBlackman.com! ---Praise for 'The Price Of Love'----- "Combining a love of classic soul with a tendency to take it's conventions with a pinch of salt this talented, charismatic and hardworking artist is set to become a big part of the British Music Scene." - Grapevine Magazine "The album starts as it means to go on and that is with style, class, finesse and character. ... Albums like this really make hardened skeptics like me sit up, take notice and want to dig a little deeper. This is a mighty good thing, and to me implies that the likes of Greg Blackman are artists with depth, credibility, substance and dare I say it...longevity. ... artists like these will always be wanted as they are timeless and as such need to be hailed today, right now and not 2 decades down the line when some DJ falls over a copy cheap somewhere." - Barry Towler, The Vibe Scribe, Soulchoonz.com "There’s no doubt that Greg is well schooled in the soul classics, but he’s brought something fresh to the table rather than merely emulating his heroes. His organ and synth fuelled tracks provide a warm analog styled soundscape that feels more authentic than the output of any of those supermarket retro soul stars peddled by the major labels. Live instrumentation, comforting, lo-fi production and heartfelt vocals all combine on The Price of Love to create one of the best British soul albums of the past ten years." - Paul Cutting, Soul Cuts "With his own presence of style I recommend you seek out this impressive debut - a veritable future classic not to be overlooked!" - DJ Marcia Carr, The Soul Survivors Magazine And lastly, just 'cos it made me smile... "Funkier than a Stevie Wonder Convention." - Neil D'arcy Jones, Colchester Gazette ------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming projects include: - The SOLAR E.P Instrumental breaks, Keys, ambience and poetry collabs. - FOOD Part 1 - Remixes, B-Sides and Unreleased Material 2008-2011. Exactly what it sounds like. Hopefully the first in a lifelong ongoing series. - GOODBYE AGAIN My second 'proper' album, full of romping stomping electro funk grooves and soulful jams, fit for consumption by both Real Music Heads and the chart-watching man in the street. - THE JANUARY PAGES A stripped-down, raw, uncompromising piano and vocal lament with antique gospel and blues flavourings. - A Whole Shitload of collabs with pioneers of various genres from around the globe, as a vocalist, producer, remixer and musician.
