Finley Quaye

Vanguard Colored Vinyl Edition

After releasing his successful debut album Maverick A
Strike Finley Quaye went back into the studio to record his
follow-up album Vanguard. It’s a unique work which features
a lot of different music styles, including soul, rock, reggae
and funk. The album features the single “Spiritualized”,
which is a boozy rock ‘n’ roll track with a lot of driving guitar
melodies. The album got many sides, from protest songs to
love songs, Quaye has a lot say about the world.
After winning the Mobo Award for best reggae act in 1997
and the 1998 BRIT Award for Best Male Solo Artist Finley
Quaye looked into the future with bright shining eyes. But
later on he fell back into oblivion.
