Solo - Before We Part (2008)



Solo
is the Dutch songwriter Michiel Flamman in co-operation with among others Simon Gitsels. Flamman, debuted as J Perkin with the self-produced record Exhibit a few years back and has been performing at Dutch festivals and clubs since. In the meantime he’s become something of a critics favorite and gained an ever growing fan base.

In 2004 Flamman joined up with his piano playing friend Gitsels to record the album Songs ‘n Sounds in as little as two weeks time. In the Netherlands it was released by Excelsior Recordings.

The press hailed it as a sublime album.

In January 2005 Solo started the Songs ‘n sounds Tour. A Silent Concerts tour together with the Silent Disco. A tour with up to 500 headphones available for the audience. After that they went on a 26-date theater-tour with Dutch top-act Spinvis.

In January 2006 Solopeople is released. A more band-orientated album, with intriguing artwork. The pop sensibility is upfront and some of the songs seem to be created for the sole purpose of being played over and over again on the radio.
