With most of the songs co-written and co-produced with one of his long standing collaborators Richard Bull, it ranges from dance anthems to funk to modern soul floor fillers such as lead single \u201cGot To Let My Feelings Show\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bluey explains: \u201cI have always felt comfortable leading from the back \u2013 guiding others and bringing out the best of their artistry. This past year was the first time I felt a compelling desire to bare my soul in this way with what one of my friends called my musical autobiography.<br \/>\n\u201cIn Incognito I am surrounded by awesome musicians and singers. I needed to reach a place where I felt my voice had its own space and that my sound was not just a twist on the band\u2019s theme. Once there it was just a matter of jumping in\u2026 taking a leap of faith\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The album includes some stunning falsetto vocal performances and a couple of stand-out house tracks \u201cAin\u2019t Nobody\u2019s Business\u201d and \u201cWhy Did I Let You Go\u201d, co-produced by Ski Oakenfull and Simon Grey respectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leap-Faith-Bluey\/dp\/B00B94VNEI%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ7HPQDOBIXXNVHTA%26tag%3Dmotfm-32%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00B94VNEI\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY from Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Audio CD (25 Mar 2013)<br \/>\nNumber of Discs: 1<br \/>\nLabel: Dome Records<br \/>\nCat No.Q: Dome CD 316<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<p>1.
