Music Is... David Dallas: The Rose Tint

May 10th, I posted a video from David Dallas titled "Life Is...". Little did I know that this would be on his most recent release the very next day. "The Rose Tint" is nothing short of great stuff. I say that with no caution at all because though I haven't heard everything just yet, I'm simply confident that it is. What I have listened to, "Caught In A Daze", "Life Is...", "Start Looking Round" and "Til Tomorrow" have me thoroughly convinced that this dude is not playing around. Produced by New Zealanders' P-Money (Peter Wandams), 41 and Fire & Ice, the beats are "Something Awesome", no pun intended. From what I can tell, the content stems from the determination to solidify himself, to speak about himself (not all high and mighty), his family and everyday life. From what I know this album was released free of cost, and as of now it still is. Should that change anytime soon, it would be worth every cent.
