Cliff Sings

A split-personality debut of rebellious rock and roll energy and velvet-smooth vocal standards. The blueprint for the British pop idol.

It's the sound of a 1950s jukebox that somehow knows exactly when to switch from rockin' to slow dancing.

A charming blend of youthful rock and roll swagger and sophisticated, sentimental balladry.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sharp, rhythmic snap of the upright bass on Twenty Flight Rock that brings a sudden jolt of energy.

The transition into the lush, string-backed standards where the vocal shifts from a growl to a velvet smooth caress.

The bright, optimistic guitar chime opening Here Comes Summer that perfectly captures a seasonal shift.
