D.A. - Glowing (Capitol Records)
 |
| D.A. - Glowing |
D.A. Wallach is, it would seem, a
bit of an all rounder so ladies and gents should form and orderly queue. He's
got brains (Harvard grad), he's got looks if you like chiselled features with
curly hair and boy can he write an understated but beautiful pop ballad.
'Glowing' is a piano based ditty which is equal parts David Bowie, Elton John,
Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright all stuck together with dreamy vocal harmonies
and luscious string parts. There's a melancholia to the tune that makes you
want to curl up in an old blanket and rest your head on the lap of the person
you trust the most as the rain falls outside and the kettle boils. The real
trick here is that D.A. has managed something new and fresh which also sounds
utterly, beautifully classic. Could 'Glowing' be this generation's 'Imagine'?
Probably not but it's still lovely.
