Daniel Powter - Daniel Powter > Reviews

Advantages: Some Great Tracks
Disadvantages: Some Very Average Tracks

...while I eventually opted for Daniel Powters' self titled album. The first I knew of this artist was his chart entry 'Bad Day' and too me this is displays the general style of the album, piano centric, generally laid back, philosophic tunes with Daniels falesto lyrics laid over the top.

Advantages: Gentle and Easy to Lisen too
Disadvantages: Not as well known as he should be..

I bought this album after Bad Day was released. I just really liked the song. I didn't know anything about the guy who sang it.

Advantages: Suits a wide range of musical tastes
Disadvantages: Bad Day is the best song!

...compare the musical style of Daniel Powter to another artist in the charts today. The album is a mix of contemporary style and laid-back, mellow beats, prefect for relaxing to. Some songs are Chris Matrin-esque, while others are a fresh new sound, really all adding up to a great album. Initially I thought that several songs were very similar, but each have their own qualities, and many are very catchy, although my favourite remains "Bad Day". People ... Read review
