While most artists fizzle out politely after falling ill of
the feared ‘second album syndrome’, it must be said that Johnny Borell offers
an intriguing anomaly after managing to sell only 594 copies of his first solo
album, Borell 1.
Though it has been released by a major label (Mercury
Records no less), and has been recorded by a man who has previously sold 4
million albums with another act, it could be deemed that as of yet, Borell 1
offers the biggest commercial failure of 2013.
