EG Adventure Man (2009 UK 12-track CD album - Ladies and gentlemen, Eg is about to release an album. Now, lots of albums come out every year by obscure singer-songwriters you have never heard of, so why should you care about this one? For one thing, you already know the songs of Eg White. He co-wrote two of 2008's biggest, most soulful and universally loved pop hits [Duffy's classic 'Warwick Avenue' and Adele's sensational 'Chasing Pavements']; and his name features in the credits of songs by Will Young, James Morrison, Take That, Pink, Kylie Minogue & Natalie Imbruglia. 'Adventure Man' features songs of breakdown & regret ['Broken'], character assassination ['There's Gonna Be Someone'], drug addiction ['Whatever Makes You Sick'], surviving depression ['My People'], romantic apology ['But California'], wry autobiography ['Weird Friendless Kid'], the agony of obsessive love ['If You Run'] and the joy of being an unreconstructed arsehole ['Pay Later']. And there is a beautiful, harrowing ballad of survival written and sung nearly completely by Alice Temple ['Pull Me Through'], which was a way of 'closing the circle').
