Album Description Dave Barnes is quickly becoming one of the best-known singersongwriters in America with his irresistibly catchy, hook-filled songs. His prior release, Me and You and the World, is his best selling release to date, and since then he has secured airplay on MTV's TRL, opened for John Mayer, Taylor Swift, OneRepublic and more, and continued to expand his online and touring fan base. His new album What We Want, What We Get, features not one, but two singles simultaneously hitting separate radio formats, supported by a national tour around street date, mainstream and Christian radio and PR, and an extensive online marketing and advertising campaign. With an album packed with pop-rock hits, and fans ranging from John Mayer to Miley Cyrus, you can bet his fan base will continue to grow exponentially with this album as well! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBarnes Delivers... Again David Lerner | Columbia, MD USA | 04/06/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Even though Dave Barnes continues to fly under the radar of the enormous commercial success that his music deserves, his fourth full-length release is filled with all the musical goodness his fans have come to expect.
Production-wise, What We Want, What We Get is a return to the more stripped-down, soulful acoustic sound that graced the majority of his first two independent releases. While songs like "God Gave Me You" (the first single off the album) and "What I Need" (featuring some great, gritty guest vocals from bluesman Jonny Lang) show that he can still crank up the amplifiers when he feels the need, other songs like the title track, "Chameleon," and "Someone's Somebody" sound like they could have easily come off of Brother, Bring the Sun or Chasing Mississippi. Barnes has always had a knack for writing brilliant love songs (and, it seems, to write the soundtrack to my own marriage - not quite sure how he's pulled that off), and he continues in that vein on this album, with a bit of a twist. Lyrically, Dave seems to be focused more on sharing the lessons that he's learned from his first few years of marriage, both the good lessons and the more difficult ones. Songs like "God Gave Me You," the title track, and "My Love, My Enemy" paint a realistic yet hopeful picture of love that's bound up in a commitment for better or worse. As he sings in the bridge of "My Love, My Enemy," "We're changing/It's painful/Into something good/We're changing/It's painful/But it's good." It's simple, but it's absolutely true, and it's good to hear someone write songs about it. So once again, Dave Barnes has given us proof that he is one of the most talented singer/songwriters around today (and a none-too-shabby guitar player, to boot). His eclectic influences (r&b, folk, country, and gospel music) all continue to shine through as he creates his own unique, but still completely accessible, sound. Here's hoping that What We Want, What We Get finally propels him into his own well-deserved musical spotlight..." |
