Beneath the Velvet Sun is the fifth studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins. It was released October 24, 2000.[1]
Following the success of "Lullaby" from his previous album Soul's Core, Mullins landed a record deal with Columbia Records. The album included the single "Everywhere I Go", that he wrote about being away from his wife while on the road as a touring musician. The single did not match the previous success of "Lullaby", despite reaching third place on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. The single included a music video, shot by David Hogan.[2]
Reception
Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly gave Beneath the Velvet Sky a C rating, describing it as "Richard Marx filtered through Beck".[3] William Rhulmann of AllMusic rated the album three out of five stars and called it "the uneven work of a talented artist who doesn't seem to trust the idiosyncratic approach that brought him to national attention enough to really let himself go."[1]
Mullins himself has stated he doesn't see "Everywhere I Go" as one of his best work, also because he was sued over it by co-writer Mike Lawler from Mercury Nashville, when he refused to give Lawler an equal share and Lawler won in court.[4] Because of this, he does not perform this song in live events.[2]
