Album Notes

"Skybound" is the second full-length release from Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Faye Davis. Things are quite a bit different the second time around ...

In the time between releases, Davis' sound and style have strikingly broadened and blossomed. With "Skybound" Davis reminds us of what the '70's-era singer/songwriters held to: criss-crossing genre and mood, blending classic sounds with those more fresh and current, singing with abandon one moment and with the bone-chilling touch of a feather the next...

A vehement purist, Faye intentionally side-stepped the present industry standards of auto-tuned vocals and mechanically quantized production. Enlisting the help of fellow singer/songwriter Mike Neal for his guitar and bass-playing prowess and drummer Philippe Aubuchon, Davis' songs are fully developed, resulting in a beautifully pure work of art that sparkles with honesty and intriguing variety.

Though not a concept album in the traditional sense, the title "Skybound" is a natural fit to both Davis' expansive voice and her songs' themes of growth, liberation, truth and transcendence.

Faye Davis was drawn to writing and recording music from the time her age grew from single to double-digits. Though two years of piano lessons and filling a soprano chair in her neighborhood church's choir were the extent of Faye's formal training, she devoted many a stolen hour over the years to personally developing her voice, ear and taste for music.

Evocative, intelligent, original pop music - elegant and refreshing.
author: Sarah Green
                            
If you’re looking for intelligent, original pop music that is unexpected and refreshing, you’ve found it in Faye Davis’ “Skybound”. Most songs are her originals, and feature Davis’ pure, powerful vocals in her elegantly arranged tunes. Ranging from the evocative, as in the strong opener “Leave it All Behind”, to playful as in “There’s Nothing Sweeter”, to the eerily seductive “Come With Me”, Davis’ originals cover a large range of emotional territory. Her whimsically poignant cover of “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday” is an excellent addition to her original tunes. Davis is an artist who can deliver, not to be missed.

I am still under its spell...

I sat down in the living room, turned up the volume on my cd player, and listened to all of your songs.  I want you to know how much your lyrics and music touched my very soul, for I have felt the same emotions that you so eloquently expressed in song from melancholy to pensiveness to hopefullness to exuberance.  To all of these, you have recognized the answer with your song, "Leave it all Behind"; easy to say and difficult to do.  Your voice is pure and beautiful.  Your CD should be very successful. I am still under its spell.
