THE NEXT BRITISH INVASION HAS ARRIVED! And the name soon to be on every American hipsters tongue with Dan Black. As soon as you hear his wacky beats and catchy chorus that make you just want to dare I say boogie!!! You will start to wonder "Can this British wacky wonder be called New Pop royalty"? Listening to Mr.Black you feel like your listening to MGMT popier brother. The brother who's okay with you taking a trip into his alternative dance universe. A pop artist with some actual depth that gives him true character. Don't believe me just listen to his hit "HYPNTZ". A melodic mash up of Rihanna's "Umbrella" with Notorious BIG "Hypnotize" that is soulful with a regal air that reminds you of The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony". Speaking of "Symphonies" Black's current single with our favorite Emo angst loving rapper Kid Cudi delivers a Coldplay groove that touches on many dreamers who desire for more. Then you're right back to that dancing bliss that creeps in when you hear his tracks "U+Me=" and " I Love Life."
After gaining popularity in the UK, and recording his album in his basement in Paris. Black's album UN was release on Feb. 16, 2010 A solid debut but not yet definite says this British enigma has yet to truely bloom.
