Gavin DeGraw is a talent, who in just a few short years has become on of today's premier singer-songwriters. He's done it the old fashioned way, on the merits of his creative abilitiea, perseverance and a healthy, homegrown perspective, establishing himself as a magnetic, new voice in music. Now, Gavin DeGraw adds a new chapter to his celebrated narrative with the release of his second studio album, the self-titled
GAVIN DEGRAW. DeGraw broke through in 2003, with the release of his debut album,
CHARIOT.
Gavin DeGraw is a collection of impassioned, emotionally resonant songs about the joys and rigours of love and life. The album has a more rock-oriented sound, which was rendered with the help of famed producer, Howard Benson, (My Chemical Romance, Daughtry Motorhead). DeGraw wrote all of the album's songs, played guitar and piano throughout, and helped in the song's arrangements. GAVIN DEGRAW may have more of a rock flavour but it isn't a hard-rock album.
It still reflects DeGraw's musical ability to photograph feelings and emotions and deliver it poetically to his audience. The album's first single is the bold, rocker "In Love With A Girl", which finds DeGraw crooining sweetly about the security of being in a relationship, and is doing great things at South African Radio. From the bluesy "Young Love" to the sing-song playfulness of "Next To Me", GAVIN DEGRAW reveals the singer's remarkable songwriting talents.
