The first solo step for ex-Starbelly and still member of John Faye Powertrip, Cliff Hillis displays plaintively that he has a voice and songwriting style that is both classic and will not quit. "It's so perfect, there's no way it won't catch on in the pop-rock underground...powerful, guitar-driven pop that's slick withut being cheesy, light and pleasant without inducing cavities, and that has a rock 'n roll soul. Cliff Hillis is one more great reason to empty your bowl"-Audiogalaxy So, we're talking working the important archetypes of great pop music on this one, heartfelt emotions poured out amidst interminably catchy hooks, addictive sing-a-long choruses, impossibly lovely vocals by Hillis and punchy ringing guitars that land on smack dab on the letter "X" perfectly. Fans of Starbelly (of course), Matthew Sweet, Velvet Crush, John Faye Powertrip and Myracle Brah should line up now and take a long lasting taste of Hillis making a statement to all pop that he's huge talent to reckon with and, more importantly, a stellar release to simply enjoy and make an impact on your record collection. "Obvious care and attention has been taken with every track. "Be Seeing You" is lush with layered harmonies, such as in the moody "Coming Out Alive" punched up with horns, the very Squeeze-like "Sheila Said" and motivated with propulsive drum sounds and radio-ready crunch on "Me And You"...I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of Cliff Hillis in the coming year because this release is destined for many Top 10 Lists"-Fufkin.com.
