Is it a fairy tale gone bad? Is it it a creepy bed time story? Well it is Christopher Paul Stelling which seem to have a bit of darkness in his mind when coming up with his stories. Crackly voice, driven with the fuel of a story that in the way it is brought to you already gains an extra dose of drama. You feel like he is singing it as if time is limited and these tales need to be told now before the end is catching you. The knowledge of Christopher Paul Stelling is maybe not as dramatic as he makes it sound but this playfulness draws his character and makes him unique in what he does. It’s a bit like a troubadour on a mission. Are you not holding yourself back from a little drama, a passion brought to you in a quite high tempo and stories that captivate you for the fact that they are brought with fire then Christopher Paul Stelling is definitely your man.
