CHAPMAN
The Mr Ballad Trilogy...
2010 sees a highly ambitious and unique move with CHAPMAN releasing three albums simultaneously, which interpret the same 11 songs in three different ways. “The Bare Bones of Mr Ballad” sees CHAPMAN performing the songs live acoustically in their most embryonic form with no overdubs or studio tricks. ‘The Amplification of Mr Ballad’ is a much larger and more ambitious production, showcasing his unique vocal, drawing on soul, folk and pop influences using strings and brass to full effect. The third album is dance floor friendly, “The Remix of Mr Ballad“ where the 11 tracks are remixed by his producer alter ego OneFourtyFour. Mr. Ballad is a nickname coined by CHAPMAN’s myspace fans after the release of his first album.
