Who thought a skinny English guy with a soprano-range voice could do a convincing cover of the Notorious B.I.G’s Hypnotize? Who’d have thought a skinny English guy with a soprano-range voice could do a convincing cover of the Notorious B.I.G’s Hypnotize, sampling the beats from Rhianna’s Umbrella? Certainly not us.
Then we met Dan Black – the former front man of one-time indie band Servant. Last year’s Hypnotize was a MySpace/viral success story and this year we’re hoping he steps out of the cyber-realm, and into reality – with his new single, Alone.
Dont be afraid – it’s frothy-electro pop disguised as something maudlin, like Radiohead – but we know he’s smiling really.
