Mark\u2019s past releases include\u00a0\u00a02010\u2019s\u00a0\u201cWalls of Jericho\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0filled with intricate guitar work and mixed with a plethora of sounds from hard rock to a much more lighter vibe and 2015\u2019s\u00a0\u201cBrussels\u201d\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 was also one for the books. The recent\u00a0LP\u00a0Empirical Truth<\/em><\/strong>, sees Mark go back to his original roots especially with songs such as\u00a0Mississippi Mile\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and\u00a0Seven Days<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>which really expose Mark\u2019s talent as a prolific songwriter and vocalist.<\/p>\n

Audiences can quickly recognize and relate to an artist who can sing a story from experience\u2026.every line of lyric connects with the listener. Mark Newman is one of those rare breeds of artists, one who can pin the sincerity meter into the red every time she steps up to a microphone. A recognized veteran of the\u00a0 music scene, and listening to \u2018Life Without me\u2019 , Mark breathes believability, passion, and a heartfelt sense of understanding into everything he sings.<\/p>\n

In for the long run, Mark has been wooing, serenading, moving, and winning over fans around the globe since he was a teenager thanks not only to a dynamic and soulful vocal delivery that emerged at a very young age, but an undeniable drive to pursue all possibilities with his God given gift.<\/p>\n

One of my favourite tracks on the album\u00a0\u00a0Empirical Truth\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0 \u201cScapegoat\u201d,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0which kicks off with a fantastic flow of\u00a0 bluesy guitars leading to a\u00a0 down right dirty melody full of pumping energy to get any audience shouting for more. You can\u2019t simply escape the base as the\u00a0 bassline and perfect drum play provide the rhythm that further energises the whole song. When the organ solo kicks in, you\u2019ve got that perfect meal. Like a chef in the kitchen, Mark has honed the craft of getting all the right ingredients in place to make the perfect recipe and \u2018Scapegoat\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and the album certainly speak volumes.<\/p>\n
