Album Description
Daniel Powter confirms Powter's fine songwriting talents with standout tracks such as the memorable opening track "Song 6", the driving melodies of "Suspect" and the delicate ballad "Jimmy Gets High". It was produced by Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Crowded House) and Powter's long-term collaborator Jeff Dawson.

"Bad Day," the first single off Daniel Powter's small masterpiece of a debut disc, has been divebombing TV-watching Americans for months. Turn on "American Idol" and there it is, accompanying the latest axed contestant off the stage. Switch over to Showtime, and it's on promos for "Weeds." The VH1 video is inescapable. Yet nobody knows who the guy is (a 35-year-old French Canadian, it turns out), and attempts to compare him to other singers inevitably come up short. Powter is poppier than James Blunt, more substantial than Adam Levin, and way less hangdoggish than Train. He is--and there may be no flattering way of saying this--like the late-'70s pop king Leo Sayer: an elastic-voiced and enormously infectious singer who can make you feel like dancing in the space of a few deft keyboard plinks. Powter, the disc, has legs, too: "Bad Day" is as big a bummer as its title suggests compared with the all-out party that is "Jimmy Gets High." "Free Loop" chugs toward its vaguely sad station stop in the most ingratiating way possible, and "Song 6" sucks you in with a groove that won't soon stop doing loop-de-loops around your every thought. Powter to the people--it should have come a lot sooner. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

This Cd Rocks!
I originally bought bought this CD for the song: Had a Bad Day. But found out some of other songs weren't so bad. My son Loves it! He listens to it everyday.

CD
Absolutely love this CD. Bought it because I heard the song Bad Day on a commercial. The rest of the cd is great.

Spread the Word! This is the MUSIC we LOVE!
It's not often you find an artist who can release a CD where every song is a potential number 1. Well, I found one in Daniel Powter. Every song is a masterpiece. There is no such thing as a "filler" in this CD. I listen to the CD over and over, each song twice before moving on to the next. His voice is smooth, soft, flowing. It's tantalizing, and we haven't had anything like that in a long time. His falsetto is welcomed surprise, incredibly controlled and rythmic. Unfortunatley, many have compared Daniel Powter to the likes of Adam Levine and James Blunt, but trust me, take some time to listen...really listen to this CD. It won't take long for you to realize that Daniel Powter is in league of his own. He's stepping away from the same ol' same. He has given those of us who really, truly appreciate music, lyrics and the emotions that music can bring out in you, something worth listening to. Songs like "Jimmy Gets High" and the incredibly popular "Bad Day" are just two examples of the enormous talent behind this CD. (And, on a side note, it helps that he's majic on the piano and easy on the eyes).
