There are not many singer/songwriters who, sometimes melancholically thoughtful, sometimes amusing, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, give such pointed and powerful expression to the dreams, enthusiasms, and indispensable insights of life as Phil Solo.
His album "ScheintSo" is a personal concept album about love and freedom. These themes run through his entire work, and the song titles are also reflected in the cover. It's a special cover because it's a picture taken on the beach in Oahu, Hawaii, on the morning of a best friend's wedding. The song titles are about love and freedom and are also reflected in the picture (the sea, light, clouds, and the themes of driving and love). "ScheintSo" is the artistic term that picks up on the shining sun on the cover, as well as the firm determination that everything, no matter how gray it may sometimes seem, will turn out for the better. Thus, each song has a thematically and musically positive ending.
Phil, who composed all the songs and wrote all the lyrics himself, even plays all the instruments on his personal album, which he recorded one after the other in the studio. This demonstrates the musical range of the multi-instrumentalist PHIL.
