After the great club tour with 2 visited concerts in Cologne and Hamburg, I had high expectations for FGDs new album "Pride". My expectations were far exceeded! This album is absolutely outstanding and very special. You can feel the Irish soul and I can see Rea than 100% authentic people in his texts. The 13 songs are (for me) anything absolute "cream pieces" and the bonus CD in the Deluxe Edition is very nice because we can participate in the genesis of the songs. Goosebumps for example: "All that matters" (Hammer duet !!) or "Forgiveness". Also "Candlelight" But I find it really hard to single out songs because the songs are strong (and that's rare in albums the case).
This album is different from the usual radio noise. Reamonn I always found good but Rea Garvey has with this album found a style that convinced me absolutely 100%. Now he has created something unique .. There is no (!) Mainstream and that's what I like about "Pride"!
