Dive In - Darius

...of 5. 6. Dive In (4:02) The album title track but not the strongest song as it has weak lyrics compared to others. The lyrics for this song are easily predictable but has a just a little bit of good tune to save the song but not enough to make it excel. It rates a 1 out of 5. 7. I Gotta Know Tonight (3:22) Watch out for this track coming up again at the end of the album. Honestly this version is weaker than the demo version but it is more polished. ...
...not shine from the others. This song rates 3 out of 5 for just being blunt. 8. Sliding Doors (4:13) This song reminds me of the movie sharing the same title starring Gyweth Paltrow (Not too sure on how to spell her name though). It starts off with an interesting tune and Darius rhyming more than singing but further into the chorus of the song, the tune catches on and he starts singing. It rates an average of 3 out of 5. 9. Simple Like The Truth ...

...along to it! 6. Dive In ( 4:14) The title track of the album. It has the same kind of feel as the last song but has great guitar work and a great range from Darius. This song, I think, is about a girl who's too scared to let herself go and take the opportunities in given to her. Don't spend a lifetime waiting Don't tell me no - Just let go…. Darius' vocal range goes even higher in this song - I don't know how he does it! The song also features ...
...to the song. I'd give this 9/10. 7. Gotta know tonight (4:26) This song is a ballad and features guitar, piano and violins. I love this song - its one of the best on the album and it stands out from the rest. It's about not knowing whether this person loves you and that he doesn't want to leave her until she answers his question. You can feel the emotion in his voice and the violins give a dramatic sound to the sound making it sound like a sad ...

Review of Dive In - Darius

Darius may appear to you cheesy, minipultive and boring but his music is most certainley not. ''Dive In'' is Darius' debut album, which went platinum and also spawned off four major top twenty hit singles. Darius' musical style is mainly pop but more rockish and gutair based. The songs are very nice - some ballads, some very catchy pop songs and a few good rock tracks as well. ''Colourblind'' is an instantly catchy pop track. This was his first ...
...very catchy. Mainly pop but quite rockish too. Darius shows off his voice her too. This is instantly catchy and very good. ''Rushes'' is another very catchy pop track by Darius. The lyrics are very good and the chorus is very catchy. Darius sings in different tones and again shows off his voice. Excellently produced as well. ''Incrediable'' is incrediably catchy. Again a very good chorus with nice verses as well. A very rockish pop track, Darius ...

Review of Dive In - Darius

...series Pop Idol. Dive in was released just before Christmas in 2002 and wasn’t a huge success on the charts, which does partly reflect his level of talent. Certain songs on the album do show amazing potential but others just leave him standing with the millions of other wannabes who aren’t quite good enough to make it in the music industry. For a first album though it’s not too bad at all! Colourblind – his first song released as a single in the ...
...associate with them! (4/5) Dive In – the title track, an upbeat and fairly uplifting song with a fairly quick pace, the guitar plucking in the background is really good and suited to the song too, made me sing and dance along! (4/5) I Gotta Know Tonight – a much slower and laid back song to the previous two, quite soft and slow, relaxing too. Does crescendo slightly towards the chorus, showing good technique of voice, not bad but not the best! ...

Review of Dive In - Darius

...tracks usually get skipped!! DIVE IN the title track is next and we're back to the normal Darius. The song definatly has potential although is a little bit predictable. If i'm honest - which i think i might be in this review - the rest of the tracks ( I GOTTA KNOW TONIGHT, SLIDING DOORS, SIMPLE LIKE THE TRUTH, BETTER THAN THAT, MOCKING BIRD and MERCURY RISING) i tend to skip over, or just not really listen to. Mercury Rising especially is far too ...
...this album you get a bonus hidden track, GOTTA KNOW TONIGHT (DEMO) which to be fair, if you didnt like the finished version your not going to like the demo. Because of the hidden track i find it quite difficult and annoying to listen to this CD, when i press the shuffle button on my CD player, you get big prolonged pauses between tracks as it shuffles through the soundless tracks. ( Thankfully on my Itunes the 56 blank tracks, that lie between Mercury ...

Review of Dive In - Darius

Say the name Darius Danesh and immediately everyone remembers that tragic rendition of Baby One More Time on the original Popstars programme. Yet despite his critics Darius came back with a sexy clean cut image for Pop Idol and finished third, proving to everyone that he is more than cheese and oozes sex appeal. However, he seems to be one people either love or hate and I am definitely in the former category. After Pop Idol he turned down a multi-million ...
...want to sing covered and instead produced this, his self penned debut album, proving his song writing ability. The album includes all his first four singles, which include one number one (Colourblind) and two top tens (Rushes, Incredible). There is a mix of catchy guitar based tunes and softer, slower ballads where the quality of his silky smooth voice shines through, though for me the more upbeat songs have greater quality, although they might not ...
