Singer-songwriter from Ireland Gary
Greenfield has released his new LP record album, “In My Strange
World,” to clamoring critical acclaim. The record is comprised of
11 original tracks for a total of 40 minutes' playing time. Its style
can be categorized as piano rock, classic rock, or traditional pop,
though more ambiguous terms like 'alternative' and 'indie' also
apply. The record is characterized by exceptional songwriting of the
rarest, catchiest quality, a warmhearted good humor, and an
earnestness which will appeal to the broadest portion of audiophiles
worldwide.
The sound of “In My Strange World”
reverberates with the best attributes of Greenfield's artistic
influences. He cites as personal favorites such legends of
songwriting and performance as Billy
Joel, The Beatles, and Neil Diamond, and exhibits the tonalities of
them all with uncanny accuracy. In addition, his new record recalls
at different times the eclectic tastes and temperaments of Elton
John, David Bowie, and Elvis Costello, as well as the mellower
moments of The Kinks. His own razor-sharp writing talents shine
brilliantly in clever chord progressions and witty lyrics alike,
evidenced in such phrases as, “Space Girl, you're the path of
least resistance,” and, “I love your perfect skin / I love the
makeup that it's coated in / I love the beauty that shines through.”
“In
My Strange World” is heartfelt yet irreverent, personal without
being melodramatic, and entirely enjoyable from beginning to end. Its
frank, no-frills production helps to showcase this remarkable
performer as if he were playing on a tiny stage at an intimate Las
Vegas bar for an loyal crowd of fans in the know. Jamie Funk of
popular indie music review blog, TheEqualGround.com, writes, “What
I loved about this album is the absolute absence of any pretension on
any of the tracks. It’s obvious that Greenfield doesn't take
himself too seriously and simply loves making music.”
Gary
Greenfield has been writing and playing his own bizarre brand of
music for over 30 years. His debut album, “Mr. Romantic,” was
released in 2003, and is still excellent and available online. The
official video for “In My Strange World's” closing single, “Oh
No,” absolutely must be seen at the music fan's earliest
convenience (link provided below).
“In
My Strange World” by Gary Greenfield is available online worldwide
beginning late spring / early summer of 2013.
