Authentic, sentimental, and serving up a tasteful range of eras in music, STRICKLAND makes his debut with his first album 'Superficial Chaos'. The disdain for superficiality was a large motivator for STRICKLAND with this album, and he mentions wanting to break away from this, "the industry has become too close shop and over produced, I just want the music to do the talking". The music certainly does make a statement about this artist, showcasing a fascinating outlook and charming style that sticks in your mind. Right out of the gate on 'Bleed with Us' we are met with STRICKLAND's Mick Jagger-esque voice, who sings over guitar progressions, soulful harmonies, and drum patterns that entrance the longer you listen. The rest of the album takes us on a stirring journey with each song. Tracks like 'Mademoiselle'and 'Tonight' are impressive for the memorable choruses and fun lyricism that juxtapose classic rock sounds with modern titbits like camera filters and Twitter. There's no denying the moving effect of 'Superficial Chaos', an album with something for everyone and underlying messages that resonate in today's chaotic world. STRICKLAND has debuted in style with this album, and he's sure to be on your radar after you hear it.
