Chesney Hawkes - Real Life Love

Do you know Chesney Hawkes? You sure do. The 90s, long ago...

In 1991 when he was 19, he had his biggest single (The One and Only) from the soundtrack of Buddy's Song, a film he also performed in. It was written by Nik Kershaw. The song was used in a bunch of other movies, such as in Doc Hollywood, Moon, Source Code.


So, is he a stereotye of an one hit wonder? Far wrong. The album Another Fine Mess is filled with gems of songs. Listen below! (songs you should listen to: Another Fine Mess, Overrated, Stay Away Baby Jane)

Discography (Albums):
  • Buddy's Song OST/The One and Only  (1991)
  • Get The Picture (1993) 
  • The Very Best Of (2005) 
  • Another Fine Mess (2007) 
  • Me My Mouse & I (2009) 
  • Real Life Love (2012)

The reason I write about him now is:
He is making a new record, called Real Life Love. And it's financed by crowd funding. You'll find more information at pledgemusic.com

To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

It marks their first full-length studio project since We Love Life in 2001. The album was recorded over the course of three weeks in late 2024 at Orbb Studio in Walthamstow, London, with James Ford handling production.   The Creative Process Pulp’s 2023 reunion tour rekindled their creative energy, with the spark first catching fire during soundchecks where they began working on a new track, “Hymn of the North.” This moment marked the beginning of a highly productive songwriting phase that continued throughout 2024. Interestingly, despite Jarvis Cocker’s use of AI in the video for the lead single “Spike Island,” the album itself was created entirely without the aid of artificial intelligence. Album and Track Details More comprises 11 tracks: ​ Spike Island Tina Grown Ups Slow Jam Farm...
