2017 release, the sixth album from the British singer/songwriter. Featuring his synonymous percussive guitar playing, Hit The Ground Running' is minimalistic in approach, but a true melodic force, showcasing a skyscraping falsetto that is up there with the very best. Lyrically uplifting, the track drives home a positive message of triumph over adversity and beating the odds to succeed. Hit The Ground Running comes just over ten years since releasing his double platinum debut album Hand Built By Robots. Featuring the exuberance of album opener 'Smoked Ice Cream' and 'This Kind Of Love' to the mellow tones of 'All She Needs' and 'Finger Tips' Hit The Ground Running is a bonafide package of musical variety, something that has almost become expected from Faulkner. 'Been Here Before' serves up another fine example of his percussive acoustic pop, whilst 'Never Alone' proves that his ear for mammoth melodies has strengthened yet again.
