"This album began for me in the early hours of the morning, with Jus singing me his songs. Since then it has grown and the songs have grown from Jus playing guitars; to piano; drums; keyboards; percussion; synthesiser; working on string arrangements; brass; horns; and, of course, vocals. It takes a lot of people to make a 'solo' ablum, but what really counts is that the soloist knows exactly what he wants. And he does. After all, he is the songwriter" Tony Clarke
