Most of which display a lot of raw emotion. Drawing from his own personal experience, he sings great songs of love, heartbreak, pain, relationships and unattainable romance.The CD launches with a great track, High, and flows nicely through a very diverse mix of tracks several of which will definitely be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so.Overall Bedlam is a an outstanding debut album and I give it two thumbs up. Must have music for anyone calling themselves a fan of Pop music.While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are High [track 1], Wisemen [track 3], and So Long Jimmy [track 7]. My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 2, You're Beautiful.
