People experience an emotional hug when they listen to Richard's most recent album 'In This City They Call You Love' as he leads listeners through the beautiful landscape of his hometown Sheffield. Deep baroque-pop melodies from his music let him craft elegant portraits about both people he knows and places he encounters. Every track creates a connection through its combination of nourishing moods and poignant melodies and authentic songwriting style. Through its underlying sense of humor the album impressively demonstrates that life embraces both the elegance of its beauty and its disorder. Although it might not challenge the boundaries which characterized his past works Richard blends blues and folk elements to create inviting comfortable music. Each song on this record creates meaningful experiences that encourage personal contemplation about our bonds with home and love.
