Artist: Keane
Disc: Hopes & Fears
Year: 2004
Genre: Pop
Label: Interscope Records
There have been a handful of CDs that I just totally connect with. Something about them speaks (or sings) to me and I hold them very close to my heart. Keane's 2004 debut "Hopes & Fears" is one of them. Keyboards, drums, singer and bass. No guitars anywhere on this CD. Because Keane focuses their sound around the piano, they sound INCREDIBLE on Logans!
From start to finish, this CD is absolutely MEZMERIZING. Lead singer Tom Chaplin sings with such emotion that he pulls you into each song quickly while the hooks and beat of the songs will have your toes tapping.
Keane's sound has often been compared to Coldplay and Radiohead - coincidentally two other bands who released CDs that I have the same kind of connection with (Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood To the Head" and Radiohead's "OK Computer").
Two years after it's release, Hopes & Fears is still on the charts and they've just released their new CD "Under the Iron Sea" which debuted at #1 in the UK and #4 in the US.
If you haven't heard this CD, go to their website, take a listen and then buy it!
