This is the debut from a Canadian singer/songwriter. His style moves from straight pop to rock to acoustic so is difficult to pin down. This is a pretty good debut, which shouldn't really be a surprise because, although Dana spent his early life playing hockey, he has actually been singing now for some time in several different contexts. Dana is definitely a talented musician and lyricist and there are some intriguing lyrical concepts here. The problem is that Dana seldom stretches himself musically and the production, although adequate, doesn't add much to the melody and lyrics. There is however an excellent track
"Your Love", penned by Dana, David Emerson and the album's producer Ryan Sutton which with its simple but effective chorus ("Cause your love is so amazing/Anything but ordinary/Brings my soul to life...always") which would sound great on radio and in a worshipping throng for which it was written.
