Review
It's not often you get a musician to bare his or her soul and have their triumphs and tragedies come out beautiful on a c.d. Anne and I can name one from the top of our head, Elliott Smith. Don't worry, this isn't going to be a comparison to Elliott, it's more about Dom Chapman, a singer, songwriter from London. Having written his first song on the inside of a shoebox lid at age 5, Chapman has gone a longway. After bouncing from club to club singing and being involved with two different bands, he finally decided to go solo and write his own album. We all go through a time frame in our life where everything just seem to go a different way. Halfway through the album, Chapman suffered a lot of heartbreaking losses in the family. I won't go into details as to what they were, but lets just say if they happened to you, they'll keep you depressed for months or even longer. The events made a big impact on Chapman's album. The heartbreaking yet have a "positive" outlook feeling is definitely in the songs. I'm a big fan of singer/songwriters who are equipped with a piano, and Dom Chapman is one of them. Certain songs on this c.d can easily make it to a Zach Braff movie soundtrack. Dom Chapman's album titled " Unexploded Bombshell" is a chronicle of Chapman's life stripped down to the soul and the beautiful layers of his voice and the piano. --http://acamerainthecrowd.blogspot.com/2006/11/chapman-unexploded-bombshell.html
Review
Unexploded Bombshell is the debut solo cut for Chapman. It's an aptly named album from this inspiring singer/songwriter. On the surface there is a warmth to the material, enhanced by subtle use of orchestration throughout the album. Underneath you can feel the brooding of an individual that has had his run ins with life and hasn't always re-emerged unscathed. It's not a whining bitterness, it's the sound of someone that has grown from the experience and has a gift that allows him to turn those experiences into songs. --http://www.fatea.freeserve.co.uk/releasese.html
