The singer / songwriter. We see him (or her) in front of us in his room two high behind, struggling on personal texts; sleeping on the couch with a friend, because no more money for the rent; in half-empty rooms, exposing his soul to a hardly interested audience, with his guitar as the only loyal companion. He gives everything for his music, hoping one day to be discovered by someone from a record
… company who just happens to walk into that one room. A romantic fantasy? Quite, especially if you can believe Luke Sital-Singh. The young Briton deliberately chose the music, because it would give him 'more chance of a decent career'. That goes very well for him, because with Greatest Lovers he already has his first hit (you) in his pocket. It can be found on his debut album The Fire Inside, that can bring him much more success just like that. Sital-Singh brings together several other popular singer / songwriters, such as Damien Rice or Ben Howard. Sensitive songs in abundance, all very traditionally made and intensely sung. But with a calculating person like Sital-Singh, 'just like that' is probably never 'just like that'. (IV)more
