CMU Approved
Approved: Ben Folds – Lonely Avenue
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 6 September 2010
Anything by Mr Benjamin Folds is CMU Approved, obviously, such is our confidence in him as both a songwriter and musician. Even if he doesn’t share that confidence in himself.
His previously reported collaboration with British writer man Nick Hornby is ready to go and is sounding rather good, but Folds recently admitted to Billboard he wasn’t certain it would all turn out OK. He told the trade magazine: “With Nick, my biggest fear was he would send me great lyrics and I wouldn’t be able to do anything good with them. I always had complete confidence in him”.
The collaboration is called ‘Lonely Avenue’ and it is released at the end of the month. You can only preview one track at the link below at the moment, though the wording implies more will appear in due course. Go see if Ben’s confidence in Nick, and our confidence in Ben, is justified.
