"Not David Gray so much, he's too "we're grown up now"...think the first time you walked into your junior high dance. It's 1986, there are streamers and somehow dimmed lights where the basketball backboards usually were. All those things you thought romance was going to be, wrapped up in a series of dramatic gestures which would instantly tell your beloved everything she needed to know (or he, or course) all to a backbeat of "Take My Breath Away" or "Just Like Heaven", it's like he still remembers those dramatic gestures we were all going to make, and he's got enough voice where he doesn't have to giggle about them. The man can sing. And there's some non-derivitive top 40 sensibilities mixed in with a little bit of worldly-knowledge. What else could you ask for?It beats Coldplay. Think Future Bible Heroes, with a little bit more on his sleeve."
