The American Singer\/Songwriter Gavin Degraw is mostly known by his hitsong \u201cI Don\u2019t Wanna Be\u201d, \u201cChariot\u201d and \u201cFollow Through\u201d These songs date back quite a while and it has been silent around him for a while. This mainly because his self titled second album was not such a big success as his debut. His third album is called \u201cFree\u201d.
\n
\nAs soon you start listening you realize that \u201cFree\u201d is not exactly an album filled with potential hit songs either. Did Gavin choose this path himself or was he just not capable of recreating a success like \u201cChariot\u201d? Most of the songs of the album are minimalistic and calm. Back to basics, no more melodic sing-a-long songs. Only one song really comes close to the level of commercialism he had before and that one is \u201cDancing Shoes\u201d. The question is if you are suppose to like this songs.
\nA pretty bad production did not do the album much good either. It feels like the unique elements of Gavin\u2019s voice are not really coming forward because they are polished to a substance that just doesn\u2019t have any impact. Hopefully, there will be some more power added when he will release anything as a single. We all have seen before how Gavin can make those songs get stuck in your head before, so we need a bit of the fire, the passion he had when writing those songs.
\n\u201cFree\u201d won\u2019t even make it to one of my lounge parties as a background music as I don\u2019t want my friends to fall asleep. Too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n
