Chris Ballin [2023] - Beautiful [Self Released]


The latest single from Chris Ballin, "Beautiful", (posted from promo last week) was officially released on Monday (29 May '23). It's his signature silky R&B/Soul sound on a mid-tempo song complemented by the acoustic guitar described as a summer anthem. We are told that Chris is currently focused on releasing a new solo album soon.

Know for his ballads, Chris wanted to showcase his flexibility and wanted to do something uplifting, different, fresh and upbeat for the Summer. We think he's succeeded. Give it a few listens as this one just grows and grows on you.

He last featured here in Jun '21 with a classy single "What's Going On" (NOT the Marvin Gaye classic) an original song which we rated a 9, a rating given to very few releases, so if you've not had the privilege of hearing it click the link above to listen and see if you think we got it about right!

Chris Ballin is originally from Nottingham, moving to London to pursue a career in music which has now spanned over 20 years. He began at the age of 8 as a drummer later joining his family group and soon learned to sing.

He released his debut album, "Do it Right", to critical acclaim in 1996 which Blues & Soul wrote was one of the finest recordings in the UK's music scene. 

Chris has worked and toured with some of the worlds greatest artists such as Luther Vandross, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Craig David, Omar, Alexander O'Neal, Simply Red and Chaka Khan.

He maintains a long-standing relationship with Incognito, featuring on their 1997 "Beneath The Surface" album and on one of Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick's projects "Inner Shade".
