N ‘CHURCH’ HEATHEN’ SHAGGY SINGS HIS WN GSPEL
New York Post – Nov 13, 2007
"I love the sound of his voice and I thought for that particular track he fit. Cashing in would be like going in and saying I need to do a record with Gwen Stefani or one of those cats. I just let the music take me where it takes me.
Craig David: Are you all still laughing?
Belfast Telegraph – Nov 13, 2007
I’ve realised I can’t be that 18-year-old that burst onto the scene. " For that reason his new album Trust Me is his coming of age.

Then there’s the collaboration with the grime prince Kano which he hopes will reconnect him with the urban community that he feels deserted him after he hit the mainstream. "I think the one thing that I’ve found through the whole journey of my career – and it’s been like a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs in a way – is that I’ve got to this album and I just wanted to make an album that I found represented my age.

Fisher died of a heart attack early on the morning of ct. 23 on Samui Island in Thailand… Fisher’s many fans was Charles R. Cross author of biographies of musicians Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix and editor in the 1980s of The Rocket a now-defunct Seattle music magazine. Cross remembered hosting a 15th-anniversary party in 1994 for the music magazine inviting numerous music celebrities who live in the area. “The irony was that a lot of those guys were extremely impressed to meet Ian Fisher the person there who had the least amount of commercial and financial success. He was the one who acted most like a rock star” Cross said. “At a different time and a different place he’d have been in the Billboard charts. But the difference between talent and stardom is luck.
