Touchy and emotional, sometimes romantic, Gavin Friday captures the journey of life quite well. A brilliant piece of art Gavin Friday has created with “Catholic”. He captured something indescribable in his music, more than just a feeling or an atmosphere, more like a world itself. The lyrics are very interesting. You can’t take your mind of it while the album is playing. Somehow Gavin Friday catches your attention as has a way to keep it. And that’s only one amazing attribute this album has to offer. Gavin Friday’s album “Catholic” is a must have for fans and non-believers. Simply brilliant. Gavin Friday is a true artist!
