The UK's most successful new singer-songwriter, Newton Faulkner, releases his brand new single 'Teardrop' on December 10th through Ugly Truth Records. A classic winter-warmer, 'Teardrop' is a starkly beautiful, and utterly unique, take on the Massive Attack song and shows both Newton's magnificent voice and guitar versatility at their mesmerizing best.
The release of 'Teardrop' follows the spectacular success of Newton's Number One & Platinum debut album, 'Hand Built By Robots', which has so far spent two weeks at Number One on the UK album chart, as well as being a permanent fixture in the iTunes Top Ten since release (including five weeks at No1).
'Teardrop' comes hot on the heels of Newton's last two singles, 'Dream Catch Me' and 'All I Got' which is currently riding high inside the UK Airplay Chart Top Ten.
A true DIY phenomenon (Myspace plays now well over 1 million) Newton has become a genuine grass roots success story as his sell-out EP's, headline dates and support slots have gathered new fans and rave reviews alike. Newton has sold out all dates on his November nationwide tour and has just announced his biggest UK Tour to date through February and March 2008.
