Rare combination of melody, soul, and emotion.

The heartfelt songs allow you to feel the emotions that the artist felt when writing them. "Fall Away" takes you from highs to lows, all while making you feel included in the moments that inspired it. One of the best independent/up and coming artists around. You will not be disappointed with this album!

This album is fantastic.
author: Chris Godar
This CD rocks!! I am not a huge music afficienado. In fact I tend to listen to talk radio, so when something grabs me enough to buy it, and then to listen to it again and again I know it's something special! The lyrics are piercing in their depth and honesty and the music is diverse, distinct and captivating. I am recommending this album to all my friends and family!!

REVIEW FROM SHAKE MAGAZINE (Nashville, TN)
The Silent Partner's debut release, "Fall Away" can best be described as hard driving power piano rock combined with strong melodies and graceful arrangements. The marriage of lyrical vocals, piano as the focal instrument, and harder alternative music have molded what is a unique and energy driven style.
Front man and writer Brad Shaw has a great sense of developing a song from beginning to end as though it is a story being told. His lyrics are no exception. In the title track of the album, "Fall Away", you can hear Shaw's vocals and lyrics coming at you with power. That and an exceptionally catchy melody makes me believe you might just hear this one on the radio. Additionally, the entire album's production is top notch, much to the caliber of the artists that Shaw has shared the stage with (including Jason Mraz, Michelle Penn and the Go Go's)
For an Indie artist, this album is a diamond in the rough. Seldom will you see such great production and songwriting incorporated together. If piano and alternative rock are your thing, I suggest you get your hands on this album when it comes out later this year.
