Jarvis Church

I don’t post songs from Canadian artists too often but I have posted about a Canadian band ‘Prozzak’ that had some big hits back in 2000. Well the 2 guys of ‘Prozzak’ come from a Canadian band called ‘The Philosopher Kings’ who peaked in the mid-90’s are released an album as recently as 2006. The lead singer of the Philosopher Kings is Jarvis Church who has achieved some success in Canada as a solo artist and as a producer.

Anyways, I was listening to David Jordans album recently and his voice and style reminded me of Jarvis Church. His name may not sound familiar to you but he’s worked with fellow Canadians Esthero and Nelly Furtado. So I dug through some of my old Mp3’s and found a gem of a song – Who Will Be Your Man. It was probably the poppiest thing on his album which was released back in 2002. The song is catchy and he has a great voice. This may not be your typical cheesy pop song, but is definitely worth a listen to.

Meanwhile David Jordan is set to release his new single – Move On in the Uk which is a fantastic choice after the amazing ‘Sun Goes Down.’

David Jordan

First a MASSIVE shout out to Paul for introducing me to this track. I never would have heard it if not for the reccomendation.

There are certain songs that deserve to be hits. They demand to be heard and need to be recognized on charts around the world. Often times songs like this struggle to find an audience and fall victim to the recording industry and mis-management.

This is one of those songs. The good news is that it is starting to get some recognition! It was just added to BBC’s Radio 1 Playlist and is currently sitting at #22 in the Uk singles chart.

It’s hard to believe that David Jordan is only 23 years old and that this is his 2nd single off his debut album. The song ‘Sun Goes Down’ is about the madness that begins when the sun goes down in London. It’s such a funky high energy track makes you want to get up and sing along. What a great song this would be to see live!

The single is officially released on February 4th in the Uk. Here’s hoping he makes the top 5!

P.S. I played it for a friend and he said it sounded like a celtic pop song. It doesn’t :)
