You know how excited we get when we hear of a new DIVO on the scene (cause they're so hard to come by!)... so fire up the speakers and check out someone new we've come across: Brian Kent.
Brian's hard two singles so far that you've probably heard: The first was "I'm Not Crazy," but the second was what really made an impact on me. It was a remake of the Journey hit "Don't Stop Believin'"... you know, that standby karaoke song that usually involves a group of drunks slinging their arms around each other and belting an inspirational anthem ;) (NOT speaking from personal experience, of course!)
I actually was NOT a big fan of his "Don't Stop Believin'" cover. It's not often that I like when dance artists cover rock songs... some things are better left alone! It's worked before, of course... check out this old blog I wrote that pairs classic rock songs against their dance version remakes.
Anyway, I'm happy to say that Brian Kent's first full album, "Breathe Life," is actually quite good! (So I forgive him for the Journey debacle ;) ) It's basically all high-energy dance cuts, so click the cover below to sample it through iTunes:
Yay, another guy in the dance world... you go, boy!
Love,
JADE
PS. Here's a little piece of trivia about Brian... he was a member of the original cast of the show Naked Boys Singing. Haha. Anyone have any pictures of that?? You'll be my hero!! ;)
