▒ █
░ █ When Finley Quaye burst onto the British Music scene
█ in 1997 his debut album Maverick A Strike quickly
█ established him as one of the few truly innovative
█ artists around. Providing hits such as Sunday Shining,
█ Even After All and the much lauded Ultra Stimulation EP,
█ Maverick was a groundbreaking record that defined the
█ summer of 1997 and beyond, winning Finley a Brit for Best
█ Male Artist in '98.
█
█ Fast forward to the year 2000 and the Maverick strikes
█ back. The new album is "Vanguard". The single is
█ "Spiritualized" - something of a departure from previous
█ encounters - a rolling, rumbling track about love, life
█ and learning.
█
█ The rule book is gone. Finley has embarked on a musical
█ journey. Breaking down boundaries before they exist.
█ Redefining himself and in doing so challenging what we
█ know and understand. Smelting digital with the past and
█ present to make the new sound of now.
█
█ With the album "Vanguard"- "it describes my position,
█ my lyrics and music at this time in this country" - Finley
█ has gone back to basics and discovered the future, through
█ the way he has written and recorded this album and in the
█ instruments he has chosen. Starting with guitar he has kept
█ it very simple, picking out the suggestive chords and guiding
█ the words with his soul. In doing so Finley has created
█ "Vanguard", which more than lives up to it's name; 12 tracks
█ of rich texture, depth, pure quality and originality.
█
█ The album came together from seeds of ideas planted over
█ the past 18 months, and was recorded in around four months
█ mainly in studios around North London. "The Emperor" is
█ possibly one of the most beautiful and epic tracks on the
█ album. A pulsating soundtrack heralded with exquisite strings
█ that swirl around poetically heart wrenching lyrics "which
█ climb around the rise and fall of babels tower", and are
█ delivered with no effort by Mr Quaye.
█
█ One of the more driving and upbeat tracks on the album is
█ "When I Burn Off Into The Distance", "a postcard to friends
█ and family while I have been away", which introduces straight
█ from the heart sentiment, over a rich tapestry of sounds.
█
█ "British Air Rage", is about "not conforming to unnecessary
█ regulation, job seekers, liberty takers with a rising status
█ demonstrating musically more comfortable and wonderful regula-
█ tions" it "makes a lot of nods and winks to different people,
█ they know who they are". Capitalism and bad manners. Deeper
█ than this though the psaltry (a biblical instrument) used on
█ this track "creates a tension, like a plane suspended in the air".
█
█ "Chad Valley" is a pulsating melange of sounds and throbbing
█ beats, probably the most contemporary track on the album, a strange
█ title, Chad Valley refers to Finley╣s youth when a friends dad used
█ to call any kind of electronic music, Chad Valley music. "Calendar"
█ is "trying to express how I create without any materials. Music,
█ words, numbers, images in creation", whilst the beautifully wistful
█ "Feeling Blue" is a song that everyone can relate to, "it's about
█ feeling down but then saying that's all very well, what you gonna
█ do about it".
█
█ When it comes to performing live Finley Quaye is in his element,
█ "Playing live is one of the fundamental reasons I got into this
█ game" and he will be back on the road with his band this autumn,
█ "the more you can tour the better". Once again, as in all aspects
█ of this spiritual man, Finley is keeping the family spirit running,
█ a more mature artist, Finley Quaye has grown and gained experience
█ in the time he has been away, musically, "Vanguard" shows new depth
█ and proves that artistically he is on the next step in a voyage
█ that looks set to see the Quaye lineage stretch long on into the
█ future.
█
█ "Vanguard" - "The leading position in any movement or field or
█ the people who occupy such a position".
█
█
█ MAVERICK A STRIKE
█
█ After his first single release "Sunday Shining" which stayed in
█ the top 40 for 5 weeks, Finley concentrated hard on his debut
█ album.
█
█ Maverick A Strike, released in the UK on 22nd September '97, combines
█ a blend of jazz, blues, reggae and rock, from someone who is cool
█ sexy and sussed without even trying. At age 23 Finley has had a rich
█ background good enough to base several novels upon. He is part of a
█ large family of Quayes who originated from Ghana. That includes his
█ jazz composer dad Cab Quaye and brother Caleb who played guitar with
█ Elton John. This diverse combination of musical backgrounds has played
█ a large role in Finley's rapid rise to success and the album Maverick
█ A Strike serves as a musical representation of this.
█
█ 13 tracks are featured all in all, including the successful single
█ releases Sunday Shining and Even After All.
