As strange as it may sound, one of the influencing factors of the Song Of The Week posts is the album cover. This is mainly due to two reasons.
The first and foremost: an interesting, attention-grabbing album artwork makes me want to gawk at it more. In order to successfully gawk at said art, I must have the song it belongs to playing. The mixture of beautiful art and heavenly music is so amazing, it forces me to put the song on replay, thus creating my next earworm. Is everyone following? No? That’s fine – I am well aware that most readers hardly read through any whole article and instead choose to skip to the best part, which in the case of a music blog is the music.
The second reason: I don’t want to post a song with a hideous album cover. This automatically makes my post look hideous.
Radical Face – Welcome Home
I have unfortunately found very little information regarding Radical Face. What articles I did manage to find were scarce in facts and very hazy about details. From what I can piece together though:
Radical Face is Ben Cooper, a singer/songwriter hailing from Jacksonville, Florida. They released their debut album The Junkyard Chandelier in 2003 and went on to record two more albums alongside two EPs.
‘Welcome Home’ is the second track on their sophomore album Ghost, released in March of 2007.
Listen to the song and view the video here.
Thank you for the attention and enjoy!
