Daniel Powter

Laid back and easy listening, Daniel Powters’ debut self-titled album is suited to enjoying while soaking up the summer rays (if we ever get any).

Produced by the renowned Dawson and Mitchell Froom, (whose credits include Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Los Lobos and Randy Newman) Daniel Powter had a lot to live up to – a challenge he seems to have embraced.

If you liked his debut single ‘Bad Day’ then you’re in luck. The rest of the songs are in keeping with that style but unfortunately it leaves the album feeling one dimensional.

What does vary however is Powter’s voice. It takes on many forms, from pop artist to a wannabe Prince impersonation on the track ‘Suspect’. He has a broad range, reaching high notes that rival even a woman’s capabilities. The track ‘Jimmy gets High’ would be more aptly named ‘Powter Got Very High’.

This album resembles something of a mix between Maroon 5 and Train. More appropriate as background music with its mellow feel, this album is made for lazy Sunday afternoons.

As well as singing, Powter also plays the keyboard distinguishing him from your typical popstar – he actually has talent.

The album is compiled of a number of cheery pop songs which quite frankly, are pretty standard. No doubt the guy has talent but in my view he has failed to utilise it in an original way resulting in a slightly dull album.
