FREDDY - Doublespeak

GREAT find from Canada � again. Freddy is an artist who has spent some quality time listening to the Jeff Lynne/ELO catalog, God bless him! There�s strong influences of British Pop bands like The Feeling, Keane and Stereophonics � Freddy goes for big sounds and huge anthemic chorus-builds, all elements that make our knees weak and ears yearning for more. Yes, I am pretty sure he�s spent some time with Jellyfish records, as well as The New Radicals. The entire album is *exactly* a representation of power pop that, if played on radio, would appeal to a large audience and actually *sell* records.

�Opener "Massive" is just that, an Oasis-styled anthemic number that you could easily picture Liam Gallagher in your mind's eye sneering through. The BPMs go up after that with the title track, which reminds me of some of ELO's stuff circa Discovery. "Permanent Damage" is a wonderful midtempo number, and the danceable "Grow Up" casts the battle of the sexes in a humorous light. Other highlights include "Open Yourself" and the pretty piano ballad closer "Fluid".�-AbsolutePowerPopBlog. EXTREMELY Highly Recommended! Song #1 - mp3
