Song For A Bad Day

This is Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Powter's debut album and if this offering is anything to go by, I believe he will have a promising career in the music industry. Growing up, Daniel wanted to become a classical violinist but because he suffered from dyslexia, he had to give it up. So, he channelled his energy into songwriting and the piano. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. The biggest hit off this album has to be "Bad Day".

For those of you who have not heard of it, watch the tail-end of American Idol Season 5's result show every week. "Bad Day" is played in the background as they show the latest "casualty's" journey on American Idol. Or better yet, visit Daniel Powter's official website to check out the video clip at www.danielpowter.com. I hear that album sales have gone up since it was used on American Idol.

If you're a fan of Maroon 5 or Gavin DeGraw, you'll enjoy the sounds of Daniel Powter. Other tracks to check out are "Jimmy Gets High", "Freeloop" and "Suspect".
