Music show: Newton Faulkner, Liam Gallagher and Carla Bruni
Issued on:
Hailed for his signature percussive acoustic guitar skills, pop-folk songsmith Newton Faulkner has been dubbed the "British Jack Johnson". He talks to Richelle Harrison Plesse about returning to the spotlight with a grittier, more soulful sound on "Hit the Ground Running".
Plus, we take a spin through some of the weekโs major music releases; the bad boy of Britpop and ex-Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher drops his long-awaited debut solo album, and Franceโs former first lady Carla Bruni lends her smoky vocals to stripped-back covers of classic tunes by Depeche Mode, ABBA and the Rolling Stones.
