Description

Over two years in the making, Connor comes back with a smash in "Prizefighter", an album of ten songs that represent his best work yet.  From the smash piano ballad "Blue Room", to the pop-rock anthems of "So Far To Go" and "Feeling Again", and even the seven minute rock opus of "Reconcile", Connor is poised to make his biggest mark yet.

Just listening to the opening track I was captured from the powerful vocals and drums. It feels reminiscent of the 90s in a way, I cant think of the bands name, but this is of a high professional quality.

Its very catchy and fresh, definatly shining through all extraordinarily bland and tiresome hip hop and rap (which is spelt with a silent C). Connor O'Brien, not to be confused with the comedian Conan O'Brien (who is just as great only in the field of comedy).

Connor O'Brien has a very uplifting vibrant atmosphere in the songs, a rich full voice shimmering guitar really add up to make you feel great!

In closing take a listen to this fantastic album, it will not disappoint!

This is incredibly high quality 90s pop rock. I'm surprised that it took me so long to find this.

The vocals are fantastic and I love the exciting, feel-good music. The recording quality is excellent. Also, the cover art is very professional. The lyrics are decent. I love it when jamendo artists actually post their lyrics like Connor has. My favorite tracks are "Make Ends Meet" and "Blue Room".

The license is a tad restrictive, cc by-nc-nd, but it is great to see such a seasoned, decorated artist using creative commons. The track "Bobby & Me" is perhaps a little cliché in both lyrics and sound, but it refreshing to hear that sort of thing in a free culture context, where little of the non-free culture cliché appears.

The album had some faults, as mentioned, but it still deserves 4.5 stars for how high quality it is. I am thrilled to see this album hit free culture cannon.

All in all I find this to be an amazing album. The lyrics are crisp and the harmonies are spot on. I love to soft falsetto touch that the singer gives. Nice work on the rhythm guitars too.

In summary: Beautiful vocals + beautiful guitars = beautiful music!

une voix très mélodieuse, des sons parfaits.
Un album qui sort de l'ordinaire et qui mérite d'être connu.
A recommander pour la qualité de la musique et des paroles.
Il n'y a rien à dire : c'est une réussite !
