David Condos Heads For Glory With Smoking City, June 24, 2006
This review is from: Smoking City (Audio CD)
From Loudersoft.com
I'm writing this fresh from listening repeatedly to David Condos stunning album "Smoking City". The 21-year-old multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter exudes star quality, and the infinitely listenable first single from his album, entitled "I Should Be Lost Without You", ought to be screaming from radios and iPods everywhere quite soon. Normally, I'm not even a fan of this kind of music. I just hear too much of it. However, David rises so far above the cut that I would have felt like I had done a great injustice to overlook something this good.
David's music is caught somewhere in the jungle of influence left by Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, complimentary to both of those but more in a direct line with recently popular songs by Coldplay, Aqualung and Keane. Condos has been blessed by a voice fueled by soul, something so empassioned that one can't help but be shaken to hear him sing. With production duties helmed by Tom Laune (who has worked with R.E.M., Mat Kearney, and Bruce Springsteen), the end result is something so pure it's hard to imagine that it all stems from the hard work of one young man who is obviously poised for great things. Something tells me I should expect the response to this single to be nothing less than explosive.
