Review - Yahoo! Music - Rob O'Connor :
Born in Vernon, British Columbia, based in Santa Monica, California, invited to sing at Live 8 in Berlin and a star in France where “Bad Day” has been heard in Coca-Cola commercials and has become a natural hit with Canada following in kind, Daniel Powter is now worldwide and quite the cosmopolitan chap. His self-titled debut album is an unexpectedly smooth ride into town. Produced by the artsy-clever Mitchell Froom and Jeff Dawson, the album is a straight-forward task master, highlighted by Powter’s bright and simple piano melodies that recall the lite-soul groove of ’70s AM radio. “Lie To Me” surrenders to a funky Jackson Five falsetto, whereas “Jimmy Gets High” with its melodramatic strings yearns for Curtis Mayfield while settling into a lush Carpenters-like production. There’s the occasional attempt to shake things up like the extra raspy and bluesy strut of “Suspect,” but mostly Powter’s on a mission to coo those seductive sweet nothings in your ear.
