Guilty Pleasures

More men with guitars and electronics

Dave.i.d. - Guilty Pleasures [mp3]

There seems to be quite a trend for hip-hop influenced solo male vocalists with guitars at the moment, which to me is an oddly specific fad. Recently we've had Plan B, Jamie T, Jamie Woon and now Dave.i.d.

While this combination can be a recipe for disaster *cough*jamiet*cough* there's also been some success and Dave.i.d. fits into that latter category. Where Plan B fills his music with a large helping of frightening in-your-face anger, Dave.i.d. is on the inwardly brooding, paranoid tip. This track Guilty Pleasures almost sounds like a suburban Tricky. The easiest comparison to make would actually be with former Massive Attack signings Day One who did the The Streets thing, but with guitars and less gimmicks back in the 90s.

I grabbed this track off his myspace. It's worth checking out the other bits and pieces on offer over there too.
