Just wanted to draw your attention to the music of a great friend of ours, Greg Darling. His single "That'll be the Day" is going crazy right now on all the radio stations. Greg has the most amazing voice you have ever heard and his song writing is just fantastic. If you don't believe me, check out his reviews. There's an Italian leg of his tour coming soon.
Penny Black Music:
Both "That'll Be The Day" and "Medication" are excellent pop songs. A Billy Joel crossed with Christopher Rainbow comes readily to mind. "These songs have quality stamped all over them." Darling produces songs that sound like they were made to be blasting out of radios everywhere.
-Malcolm Carter
What's On London:
Debut Album Shell is like James Blunt with balls and Gregory has the air of an AOR David Bowie. "That'll Be The Day is a possible biggie in the Daniel Powter mold."
Daily Express:
"Darling's voice is pretty impressive and it is showcased to stunning effect."
- Marcus Dunk
Single of the week - Sunday Mirror:
GREGORY DARLING: That'll Be The Day (F.O.D.). The first track from new album Shell and reminiscent of James Blunt's You're Beautiful. ***
Tastemakers Tips - MUSIC WEEK:
"Darling is a singer-songwriter who is already gaining some great reviews. Strong tracks featuring excellent musicianship typify the album Shell."
-Ben Todd
Thisisull.com:
"Given the fact that he's got an unforgettable name to go with these beautifully conceived songs, Gregory Darling's career sounds to be on the cusp of being projected onwards and upwards in the most sublime manner imaginable."
-Steve Rudd
Musicomh.com:
"That'll Be The Day is a near perfect pop-rock single and its B-side Medication is a beautifully composed piano based tune that displays Darling's catching, harmonic vocals. Imagine a young Billy Joel or Elton John and you'll get the hand crafted picture."
- Neil Daniels
UKmusicsearch.co.uk:
"A slick combination of David Bowie, John Lennon and Robbie Williams - its hard to see how Gregory Darling can go wrong really. As an upcoming mainstream pop star Gregory Darling looks set to shine."
- Mike Bond
Unpeeled Magazine:
Made in California?
"Gregory Darling "That'll Be The Day" (F.O.D Records) Love it. Shame really, it would have been fun to slag the writing partner of a Beatles son as some kind of peripheral leech, but this is a funky, but string driven thing and while we know a song about that, we actually have a powerful pop funk ballad that at 3.03 minutes is a minute too short."
Rhythm-and-booze.co.uk:
"If the two tracks on here are anything to go by Shell could be a very special album indeed, the songs have real honest emotion pulled straight from the heart."
-Will Munn
