Australian singer/songwriter Seamus Caplice has released his latest full-length album, God Fearing, Bible Reading, Jesus Loving Man. While listening to this album, I kept making the comparison to Carman if the newsboys were part of his backing band. There's a mix of R&B, pop, and rock colliding together on this record to make for a unique sound. In terms of message, most of these tracks are testimonial in nature that encourage the listener to turn to Jesus for all of life's needs. A couple tracks feel more personal as Caplice struggles with life and loss ("Can't Stop Believing," "Take Me Home"). The longest track, "Prepare Yourself," takes a more confrontational tone, as it warns the listener to get ready for Jesus' coming (it feels a little like Larry Norman's "Watch What You're Doing"). There's nothing here that you haven't heard on some other gospel record, but Caplice and his backing band put in quality work to make this album sound good. Some of the pacing feels a little off, with tracks sometimes overstaying their welcome (such as on "He Will Be There") or cutting their visit short ("Can't Stop Believing"), however. While God Fearing, Bible Reading, Jesus Loving Man feels like something of a niche album, it is entertaining to listen to and may garner Seamus Caplice a few international fans.
Record Label: None
Seamus Caplice: Career musician, songwriting, production, guitar player. I grew up in Sydney Australia, and for the last 20 years have been based between Sydney, Dubai, Manila, and Jakarta, where I have interacted with local musicians and studios in all these places.
Seamus: Main contributors are: Bobby Velasco - Philipinno, Manila based, who does all virtuoso piano and keyboard parts. Syauqi Destanika - Indonsesian, Jakarta based, does female vocals and harmonies. Jeremy Gregory - Sydney based singer, high vocal parts. Keith Deleva - Philipinno, Manila based, guitar solos.
Seamus: All the greats: Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and some lesser knowns, Michael Franks, Dory Previn, also the Staple singers, Steely Dan, Donny Hathaway, Al Green.
Seamus: Not super important... it's more that I'm adopting some of the Gospel preacher style when writing lyrics. But I just want people to enjoy the music, if they pick up the Bible as a result, then it's an added bonus.
Seamus: It's based on my experiences with elderly relatives and their struggles with old age, and their desire to pass on... so the lyrics are from their perspective and dialogue with the Lord.
Seamus: I take my cues from artists like Prince and Stevie Wonder, who wrote mainly straight pop, but on occasion would write Christian-themed songs. I would say that 1 in 10 songs I write are Bible influenced.
Seamus: I try and complete at least 2 albums per year, one under my own name, and one for the other bands I play in, or artists I work with.
Seamus: To follow me on Spotify and YouTube and share my songs.
Seamus: Anywhere beats the dentist, so chiropractor.
