In Defence of ‘The Fleesh’
Richard Fleeshman has taken a few knocks in his transition from soapstar to popstar, including a couple of less than favourable reviews of his first album, Neon. However, Richard continues to take bright and bold steps forward towards pop superstardom.
Testament to this are the recent news stories. First of all there is the announcement of his forthcoming tour with international legend Elton John. Secondly, there are the reports of the screaming girls following his every move. Finally, there are the legions of fans who think his first album is great (including us here at E3).
Having worked with Richard on several events, we can say with certainty that Richard is more than just a “here today, gone tomorrow” pop wannabe. We think this young man has a genuine musical talent and we definately disagree that his songs “tend to just melt together into one big, steaming cauldron of fondue cheese”, as mentioned in the BBC’s rather charmless review.
What do you think of Richard’s first album? Cheesy fondue or the beginnings of a pop superstar?
