    Powter firmly establishes himself as a singer/songwriter who sits somewhere between James Blunt and early recordings by Elton John-albeit one who also knows the power of blue-eyed soul. [15 Apr 2006]

    A series of expertly produced, expertly recorded adult pop tunes.

    A reminder that "adult" pop can be every bit as vapid and formulaic as its teenage counterparts.

    I absolutely love his music. I listen to it everyday. It's refreshing. Bad Day is very, very good. Awesome but I love "Free Loop" That should be a number one song as well. Keep on writing Daniel and singing you have lots of number 1 fans!!! and the ones who rate low and have undesirable things to say just don't know good music when they hear it or they just have very shallow minds or they are jealous. kw {ps} he is also very handsome and very talented… Expand

    Bad Day is the only half way decent song from it and he stole the piano from aimee mann's "wise up".
