DECLAN O'DONOVAN "Broken Sky" CD
★Pre-release in Japan
★2 bonus tracks will be included
The best contemporary drunken piano poet born in Canada! His second album, his first in five years, is a masterpiece by an SSW that easily surpasses his previous work! Overwhelmingly expressive piano and deep, husky vocals... A must-listen for fans of early Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Bob Dylan, and alternative roots artists such as Wilco and Father John Misty, this extremely rich world of songs!
Declan O'Donovan, a Canadian male singer-songwriter with a huge impact, piano skills and songwriting sense, has completed his long-awaited second album after five years since his masterpiece first album "Declan O'Donovan" (released in Japan in 2015), which he released independently in 2012! This album is so amazing! (tears) The album retains the deep and sophisticated song world based on the American roots music that impressed fans of early Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Bob Dylan, T Bone Burnett, etc., while also featuring a fantastic and three-dimensional sound that is reminiscent of the recent "alternative roots" genre. This album is so complete that it makes the previous album seem like a practice piece! There are more and more touching melodies, and the title track "Broken Sky" is a masterpiece that is difficult to describe. This is a true masterpiece that proves once again that he is a possessor of extraordinary talent worthy of being added to the lineage of wonderful singer-songwriters born in Canada, including Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, KD Lang, and Ron Sexsmith!
