Like many people, music is and has always been a very big part of my life. I have always loved the way that people can communicate with music like no other way I know of. I have played music with people from very different cultures and backgrounds from my own but the music is the thing we have in common. I hope you listen to these songs and they say something to you. If they do then I guess we have done our job. 　　 　　This album is a collaborative project brought about by bunch of friends; old and new. Inspired by life experiences and a love of a diverse range of musical influences. Blackmail takes the listener on a journey with the performers through different genres and different decades. 　　Heartfelt, honest and powerful this music will convey an emotional story to the ear. 　　 　　Lumo is joined by the following artists 　　 　　Neil Davidson-Smith (Guitars, Production) 　　Frances Chapman (Vocals, Keyboards, Production) 　　Anna Munro (Vocals) 　　Mark Wetton (Guitars, Vocals, Production and crazy instruments!) 　　Mark Anderson (Drums) 　　 　　Lumo would like to thank all of the friends and family who have made it possible to pull this lot together. 　　Thanks also to our constructive critics who gently helped us to improve the album, this was essential! 　　 　　 　　"Goddamn you I was humming Juno on the way to the dentist" 　　 　　"Almost French 60s Francois Hardy feel" 　　 　　"Lovely vocal - Creation, I would say it's my favourite on the record" 　　 　　Have a listen and you decide! 　　 　　Lumo
