Does the world need another lovelorn singer/songwriter?
I don't know, but if they alll wrote such catchy pop, I say
bring 'em on. On Benson's song "Folk Singer" a woman
tells him he "is not John Lennon," which is more than
true, but maybe he can be the Beatlesque (vs. Beach
Boys) version of early Matthew
Sweet--or at least the new Jonny
Polonsky. While his lyrics tend to be kind of silly, his
melodies poppy and fun. This is hinestly one of the better pop
albums I've heard in a while--and it won't scare grandma or
the aging lady in apartment 3B. It also doesn't hurt when Volkswagen
features one of your songs, "Tiny Spark," in its commercial. |
