Description:

Radical Faith, the talented artist who has been described as "the most talented storyteller since Sufian Stevens," has reissued its immortal 2007 masterpiece "Ghost" in a deluxe 2-CD edition with a bonus disc! Radical Face is the main project of Ben Cooper, a brilliant artist from Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.A., who has been making albums like a writer writing a book. The album has been remastered and reissued as a 2-CD "Anniversary Edition" with a bonus disc! (*Not that it is an anniversary of anything in particular, but the artist himself says he likes the word "anniversary"). Ghost" was created by Ben Cooper, who was 24 years old at the time, with the help of a few friends and his brother, but he did almost all the work himself in his home studio in his garage. He wrote the lyrics, composed the music, performed, recorded, mixed, and even created the artwork.The album title, "Ghost," refers to the idea that "a house that has been inhabited by a person for many years will continue to be haunted by ghosts, even after the person is gone. The title of the album, "Ghost," means "a house where a person has lived for many years, and even when that person is gone, a part of the house stays like a ghost. The lyrics are like a short story, and the songwriting, which was already first-rate, the distinctive layered sound with skillful arrangements of various instruments, the tasteful concept-making ability, and the special voice have created many followers, and more than 12 years after its release, it is still an enduring name. Even now, more than 12 years after its release, it continues to be loved as an enduring masterpiece. The song "Welcome Home, Son" was used as the commercial song for Nikon's global campaign, and has been streamed over 200 million times on Spotify and YouTube, making it a hit anthem that is familiar to many. For this reissue, the original 11 tracks have been remastered by renowned mastering engineer Greg Calvi.Ghost" has also been reborn as a deluxe edition with a bonus disc of 12 different re-recorded versions of all the songs (live, instrumental, or orchestral, etc.).
