***** ''The debut album from Gillian Glover, Red Handed, is a poised yet strident collection that manages to stamp her authority on the singer-songwriter genre, while never becoming bogged down by the constraints of the form...Resonating throughout are Glover's powerful vocals; her voice serves as a most decorative centrepiece to her own self-compositions.'' - ROCKnREEL, July/August 2007 ''Red Handed doesn't fall easily into any single category; Glover mixes it up here with some gritty blues, soulful rock and a liberal taste of nu-country. The real common denominator with Gillian Glover is the total commitment to quality - from the moment the pen hits the paper to wrapping it all up in the studio everything's treated with total professionalism and attention to detail. What becomes absolutely clear as you work your way through the eleven tracks is that Gillian Glover is a new solo artist positively glowing with natural talent and positivity. 'Red Handed' no-way sounds like a debut work; it's superbly crafted with everything superbly rounded and styled to make it quite an exceptional piece of work. Glover has a pretty powerful vocal delivery but is able to tone it down when necessary in order to bring out just the right degree of emotion - she's got 'balls', sentiment, style and massive, massive potential!'' - Toxic Pete.

I've put up some different tracks for you lovely ones who keep checking back!And for those of you who are having a look for the first time, here is the brief synopsis: In the summer of 2005 I was put in a room with some of the fantastic musicans involved in this project (thanks to my dear friend, Tom Wilcox, who had the idea that then seemed outlandish). We wrote and recorded four songs in those four days. They were incentive enough to do more but it took us a year to get our arses in gear, at which point more musicians came on board. With them, I have been able to record songs written in collaboration with others over the past few years as well as some of my own that I never ever envisaged in their present state. It's all about that inspiration at 3 in the morning, hunched over a guitar. Who knows what will happen?
I have also been singing in a band called Beat:Root for the past 5 years or so. Check out our myspace too... |
