Best known for the deeply moving classic ‘My Father’s Son’, Reeves captured the hearts of soul aficionados across the globe with Earthbound. His debut was hailed by critics and soul fans alike as a breath of fresh, emotionally rich air in the late 90’s soul and R&B scene.
Fans have waited nearly three decades for a follow-up – believed to be the longest gap between a debut and sophomore album in UK music history. But this long silence was not without cause. Reeves’ journey through the past 27 years has been nothing short of epic – and often harrowing.
From battling crippling stage fright at the peak of his career, to becoming a devoted father, facing near-bankruptcy and homelessness, to fleeing the financial pressures of London for rural France, and finally settling in Ibiza, Reeves’ life took detours few could have imagined.
This journey from appearing on Top of the Pops and sharing stages with icons like Whitney Houston, to song writing for the likes of Joss Stone, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner and penning smash dance hits alongside Artful Dodger, and then to anonymity and struggle – has forged in Reeves a raw, soul-baring artistry.
