2016 Thierry Condor – So Close

, , ,

So Close is the fourth album from Thierry Condor, released in 2016. Once again draws upon the U.S. West Coast Pop of the 1980s, but adds new flavour to the style. His personality is evident on the entire album and he speaks to the listener directly; his singing profile has become even more distinct and original. Amongst others, the album contains three compositions until now unpublished.
