The singer and songwriter
internationally known as Davis Cooper has released his flagship
inspirational single, “Jesus.” The track has been proudly
published as an independent single outside the control of the
corporate music industry. Mellow, uplifting and unerringly true to
the Christian tradition, “Jesus” is a track showcasing Davis
Cooper's musical intuition and earnest spiritual depth as both a
writer and performer.
Toronto, Canada's Davis Cooper cites as
main artistic influences Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and Jimi
Hendrix, as well as those he refers to as “the great classical
musicians of long ago.” The common elements of these are most
present in Cooper's 25-song LP record which is available for
streaming online, but his “Jesus” single remains the track for
which he is best known and most loudly lauded.
Published in its definitive form in
2013, the single has remained popular and prominent since that time
though it has always been a download-only offering. Cooper himself
calls it his proudest work to date.
“This is a very precious song for
me,” Cooper writes. “It was largely inspired after a very
difficult period in my life.”
The religious aspect of the song stands
out as its most compelling feature in spite of beautifully minimalist
chord progressions and unassuming folk-rock vocals by Cooper. With
careful and deliberate lyrics Davis Cooper narrates the story of
Jesus Christ in poetic, yet simple language which paints familiar
imagery in a way that is fresh and new.
Fans of artists like Elton John will
appreciate the elegant piano playing and pop-minded, infectious music
structures, while listeners of Bob Dylan will hear a similarly
heartfelt tenor in Cooper's words and vocal performance. Longtime
music aficionados are certain to note the live aspect of his “Jesus”
studio recording. Hearing the song is a very close experience to
being in the room as the artist plays, one which is palpable and in
some ways the song's best feature – a trait many musicians and
producers attempt to create which can never, ever be imitated.
All in all, Davis Cooper's “Jesus”
is a track which Christians and fans of great songwriting should hear
at their earliest convenience.
“Jesus” by Davis Cooper is
available at over 700 digital music stores online worldwide now.
