Details:
''Witness'' is a debut album rich in splendour and an honesty that belies the raw, uncompromising talent bestowed upon its creator. Brent Shuttleworth has produced an album of sincerity and self-exploration to rival any of his influential predecessors. Expertly produced and mastered, it''s the perfect platform for an artist of Shuttleworth''s ability - both vocally and lyrically.
''Love, to be real, must cost, it must hurt, it must empty us of self'' is a quotation used in the album''s sleeve notes and, in truth, could not be more appropriate. He writes with an almost unbearable clarity and truth as he bares his soul to the listener. ''Helpless'' sees Shuttleworth profess to an overwhelming anxiety of a life bereft of love and its assurances (When you come around / I would give anything / When you come around / I fall apart helplessly). This anxiety is evident once again on title-track ''Witness'' as Shuttleworth shows a longing for protection and safety (When I''m broken and I''m fading / I need a witness / When I''m beaten and I''m bleedin'' / Love give me a witness) but it''s his urbane and mature vocal that counteracts against the hopelessness and suggests a new-found sense of strength and vitality.
Perseverance and no small amount of courage has seen Shuttleworth produce an accomplished debut album - one that may prove a tough act to follow. But with that voice, and the ability to plumb agonisingly emotional depths, you certainly wouldn''t bet against him.
