Song Of The Week: Teardrop(cover by Newton Faulkner)

Sup people, how are thing? My week has been pretty cool, lots of guitar and a bit of songwriting done. Anyway less about my mundane life and more to the not so mundane song of the week!


This week's song is a cover of Massive Attack's song Teardrop which is done by none other than the amazing, witty, crazy and talented Mr. Newton Faulkner. Let me just say how much I love and respect Newton Faulkner's music, which fuses percussive guitar with his incredibly rich and soulful vocals.  The thing to remember when listening to this track is that firstly, most of it is done with just vocals and guitar(minus the middle 8 and bridge), and secondly is that Newton Faulkner is playing a complex riff while singing beautifully. 


Aesthetically speaking there is much to admire about the vocal harmonies and ambiance of the song, I felt that Newton Faulkner really took the song to another level with the cover. Anyway I hope you love it(and or his music) as much as I did and still do!


Just a note if you like his music don't forget to go and buy his new album it is fantastic and is out is 3 days time, you can check it out here.
