Scott Fisher And 1 A.M. ApproachStep Into the Future [1 A.M./BDC Records] The stellar piano rock of Scott Fisher is both refreshingly original and a hell of a lot of fun to listen to. Fisher’s chops are rooted in jazz, soul, reggae, and rock, but his style is truly his own. Songs like the swinging “3,000 Years” come on like gangbusters while balancing nicely with sensitive ballads like “Forgot About the Stars.” Fisher’s capable vocals float somewhere between Jack Johnson and Chris Martin and his lyrics are well thought out and insightful. I could name ten bands on the radio that Fisher could hold his own next to, but none that he is directly derivative of. Here’s hoping that the young pianoman can break through to the next level like Coldplay or Keane — if all goes well, we’ll be comparing new artists to him next year! |
