Re: Phillip Phillips DEBUT ALBUM "The World From The Side Of The Moon"
Isn't/wasn't this guy an ant before he became an Idol winner? I don't watch the show, so I actually couldn't say what he sounds like. The press likes the Dave comparison, but asking the mainstream press to talk intelligently about music is a bit too much to ask. Still, if he's an ant, there's probably a bit of imitation in his sound. As far as what this will sound like, I hope he gets a bit more freedom in the studio than most of the winners have. What's not often said when someone wins Idol is that part of the prize is being signed to Simon Cowell's management firm, and Simon serves as EP on most of his artists' recordings, so he's got first say on what music they sing, what musicians are in the studio, and what producers are behind the board. I've never heard whether this guy actually writes his own songs, but most Idol winners are glorified karaoke singers, so they don't have a lot of input into the material they get to work with.
