Product Description

CD Description

Tantalising and stimulating eardrums, Dan Black has been hailed as pop’s bright new hope by everyone from Zane Lowe to Perez Hilton and was a regular feature in the 2009 "One To Watch" polls. Now the Paris-based Englishman has updated and fleshed out his blogospherically massive Notorious BIG tribute "Hypntz" into the fully fledged space pop anthem "Symphonies". Fusing the ubiquitous beat from Rihanna’s "Umbrella" with heavily chopped-up samples from the film soundtrack of John Carpenter’s Starman, this is a perfect, effortlessly joyous marriage of laptop hip hop with tip top hip pop. The rest of Black's debut album Un continues this vein of quirky pop, apprently melding the musical attributes of Paul’s Boutique, Hatful Of Hollow and Supa Dupa Fly with a lost 80’s sci-fi soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Is The New Black, 13 Jul 2009
By The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
So many new voices. So little time.
Was there ever a period when the world
was so full of so much good new music ?

A warm welcome then to young Mr Black
and his debut solo outing 'UN'.
The very nicest kind of geeky pop.

Strong melodies, memorable hooks, dance-friendly rhythms.
Crikey what more could a discerning listener wish for ?!

The twelve songs in this collection achieve a coherent
sonic whole; stylistically synchronous with the nation's
current appetite for intelligent electronica.

Not the strongest voice to be honest ( a little nasal;
a tad whiny at times ) but he is mostly able to transform
his limitations into advantages with the wry wit evidenced
in his perky writing and idiosyncratic sense of timing.

Standout tracks include : 'Symphonies', a delightfully quirky
composition which makes atmospheric use of string and choral
samples. The surreal lyrical imagery is curiously affecting.

'Alone' takes us down for a spin at the local disco ( Were the
DJ to play material by transatlantic cousin Mr Sparro we should
not be surprised ! ), one of the most successful up-tempo numbers.

'Pump My Pumps' also manages to generate some good
knee-trembling energy.

'Life Slash Dreams' is a delicious slice of Emmental;
a few structural holes but very tasty none-the-less.

'Let Go', with its well below lo-fi production,
brings the album to a worthy down-beat conclusion.

A very strong first showing from a solid new talent.
I am fairly confident that he will be able to keep his head
held high above the ever-expanding crowd of electro-pop hopefuls.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for this!, 6 Jun 2009
I've heard five of the songs from this album, and every single one is great! Cannot recommend this enough, Alone and I love Life are great and new single Symphonies is really innovative as he has mixed rihanna's umbrella with Notorious B.I.G's Hypnotise, it really works well!
Top notch stuff, so if you like a bit of electro-pop or you've been inspired by the recent success of gaga, boots and la roux you'll definately enjoy this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot new talent, 20 Aug 2009
By Mimi (Gloucestershire, England) - See all my reviews
Although it took a little longer to arrive than I expected it was completely worth the wait. Dan Black has such a unique sound. His tunes are so catchy that you are hooked by a first listen. My personal favourites are "Alone" and "Yours" but I'm sure I will love all equally soon. Dan Black is a young and fresh artist who is a rising star! A must buy!!
