However, Paul is the master of this art. He has flawlessly written and produced poppy
Songs that the mainstream is crying out for' [Chromium Records]
'Paul returns to Matchbox Recordings with a new song. This is a frank and open number of stripped acoustic guitar and doodling, dreamy bass. The result is a tender,
vulnerable song that catches the idea precisely because of it's softness. Paul's voice is
clean and clear, and there can be no doubt that he can actually sing. I love the Da Da
Da's as well; it's just a really great really simple song, really' 'She Stands Still' reviewed by Dave Chislett who is a journalist, music promoter,5 FM and SA FM correspondent and columnist for The Mail and Guardian, FHM, Stage Magazine and SL Magazine]
'Until We Cry'
A classic, bluesy, jazzy, sensitive, melodic ballad from a songwriter with substance
