Search - Eg :: Adventure Man

2009 release from the British singer/songwriter (and formerly one-half of '90s favorites Eg & Alice). You already know the songs of Eg White. He co-wrote two of last year's biggest, most soulful and universally loved pop hits, with Britain's shining new female stars: Duffy's classic 'Warwick Avenue' and Adele's sensational 'Chasing Pavements'. Adventure Man contains songs of breakdown and regret ('Broken'), character assassination (There's Gonna Be Someone'), drug addiction ('Whatever Makes You Sick'), surviving depression ('My People'), romantic apology ('But California'), wry autobiography ('Weird Friendless Kid'), the agony of obsessive love ('If You Run') and the joy of being an unreconstructed arsehole ('Pay Later'). And there is a beautiful, harrowing ballad of survival written and sung nearly completely by Alice Temple (the other half of Eg & Alice!), which was a way of "closing the circle.". Parlophone.
