[ EMI Music New Zealand / CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 11 July 2006
One of New Zealand's greatest singer / songwriters returns with his seventh studio album - and it's outstanding! The first single from 'Anyone Can Say Goodbye' is the excellent song, "Now the Sun is Out".
'Anyone can say Goodbye' has all the hallmarks of what we have come to know as Greg Johnson's quintessential sound. A master of soulful tunes, a witty raconteur, Greg is ready to beguile and seduce us with this, his latest work. Laden with delicate pop craftsmanship and superb vocals, the record is full of tales of love gone wrong, love gone right, and all the feelings in between.
Perhaps darker than his last two albums, 'Anyone can say Goodbye' is an album that exercises Greg's expert ability to create tracks that take you on a musical journey. The first single on New Zealand radio is 'Now the Sun is Out'. With other stand out tracks including 'Venom' and 'New Car Smell', this CD catalogues a rich variety of emotions from love, friendship, heartbreak and regeneration.
Recorded entirely in the United States with his friend and long time collaborator Ted Brown, his U.S. lifestyle seems to provide the perfect backdrop for Johnson's creativity.
