With an avid following from the days in his former band Gomez, \u003ci\u003eA Man Apart\u003c\/i\u003e is singer \/ songwriter Ben Ottewell’s third solo offering and follows his albums \u003ci\u003eShapes and Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRattlebag\u003c\/i\u003e. The album is a record that crosses musical genres such as Americana, blues and folk backed by Ben’s unmistakable gutsy and gravelly voice. Co-written with childhood friend and former Tunng member, Sam Genders, the album was recorded in Los Angeles and Sheffield and engineered and produced in the latter by Martin Smith (Richard Hawley). \u003ci\u003eA Man Apart\u003c\/i\u003e delves into such relevant subjects as love and relationships, fame and politics. The album’s title track focuses on populist politicians exploiting people’s hopes and fears, with Bones touching on the realisation of not being worthy of someone, and opener \u003ci\u003eOwn It\u003c\/i\u003e, sees Ben reflect on his time growing up in public in Gomez.
