Hey kids, do you like James Morrison and Paulo Nutini? No, us neither. Anyway, Newton Faulkner has supported both of them recently, but – staggeringly – he's not as skull-assaultingly dreadful as either of those two awful tosspots.
Not a lot is known about Newton Faulkner, and what is known – that he's a dreadlocked singer-songwriter who can count Jo Wiley as a fan – would usually be enough to send us screaming into the forest. But he's new, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Newton Faulkner's new single is called I Need Something and, as well as showing off his way around a tune, I Need Something is also the perfect introduction to Faulkner's genuinely hypnotic guitar technique. We reserve the right to like I Need Something by Newton Faulkner at this moment in time, because God knows we're going to be bloody sick of it in a couple of weeks.

Did he just sing ” ’cause I don’t believe in my arsehole”? Not bad though.
I really like Traci Chapman
