Edinburgh-based Clive released his first solo album 'You Are With Me' after being in two bands Indigoecho and The Mystery. Since then he has a had difficult personal time but returns in great form with this album produced by fellow Scots Graeme Duffin and Sandy Jones, focusing on joy and the love of God. This is confirmed with the opener "Amazing Love", with its simple chorus and straightforward arrangement, and the blues-driven "There Is Joy" with some great guitar playing from Clive himself. There are some Tom Odell moments on the piano-based "You Are Love" and "Faithfull" helped by vocals from Yvonne Lyon. Clive also proves himself an excellent re-interpreter of songs with Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons". This is a first class album, which gets better on repeated listening and will stand the test of time.
