Following his work helping Suede become a sensation and then magically repeating the trick with his short but memorable mid-90s collaborative singles with David McAlmont, Bernard Butler had been known as a killer guitar player and songwriter, but not as yet a singer. His full solo debut People Move On demonstrated he had a reasonable enough voice, while letting him happily indulge his taste in both big 60s-style orchestrated rock/soul numbers like “Not Alone” and “Woman I Know” and moodier, quieter songs like the title track and “You Light The Fire.”
