Roland Orzabal

Roland Orzabal is a British-born singer-songwriter and guitarist, known most famously as one half of the internationally popular outfit Tears for Fears (in fact trading under the name himself via their 'Elemental' and 'Raoul and the Kings of Spain'). He has released one solo album to date, 'Tomcats Screaming Outside', which also bred the single 'Low Life' - neither managing to chart in the UK, despite being open to critical praise. As Tears for Fears have been experiencing a comeback following both the phenomenal success of Michael Andrews and Gary Jules' rendition of their New Wave hit 'Mad World' and a surprise reunion in 2003, it is unknown at present whether Orzabal plans to record or release any more solo material in the near future. He is also known for having his own recording studio, 'Neptune's Kitchen', built into his home.
