Releasing an album no longer guarantees success in an industry where platinum-selling singers face the same pressures as fledgling artists. Yet, when Keane frontman Tom Chaplin kicked off a 15-date North American tour in Atlanta this weekend to celebrate his solo debut, The Wave, he proved that talent and heart still matter as much as the numbers do. Chaplin says The Wave's themes drew upon his psychoanalysis sessions and conversations with his wife over the past few years. "It was easy for me to slip into the life of the charming, jocular guy in Keane, but I wasn't facing my truth," he says. Tom Chaplin performs at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta on January 14, 2017.
