Freakin' love this guy. One of the best young singers going around and his songs are sensational. A must see live act. If he doesn't make it big I'll start to doubt my own existence. Seriously. PS Closer's a ripper.

Closer sounds familiar. By the looks of the video he has all the goods! Look forward to more, definitely better than some of the other junk clogging up our airwaves.

Musical mush like a lot of other record company pushed products. Seems we are only to like what record companies want us to hear. Lots of of better stuff out there than this crap.
