"Marc Almond, having spent the last two years perfecting, rejecting and finally picking 11 songs to cover for his latest album, "I’m Not Anyone", has produced a concise and surprising set: a collection of curated classics from Neil Diamond, Colin Blunstone, Bob Lind and King Crimson to name a few, with lesser-known numbers by Johnny Rivers and Mahalia Jackson. Opener "I’m The Light" is rocky, but laced with Almond’s crisp vocals, almost akin to a Michael Hutchence twang, and sitar sweeps. His voice has matured beautifully over the years, and his current relaxed lifestyle in Portugal is reflected in these recordings. "I’m Not Anyone"’s musicians and backing singers combine in harmonious style, outdoing some of the originals. This album is a welcome addition to your collection, and with a potential hint of new Soft Cell tracks on the horizon, keep an eye out for his next venture." (Buzz Magazine; 5 uit 5 sterren(!!))
