If you have seen Danny
McMahon and his band play live, you’ll know that Danny is as much a showman as
he is a singer, but with this new single My Kinda City he has dialled
back the rock in favour of a thoughtful, descriptive song. Don’t worry, it still has his trademark
energy but he is reflecting on his travels and love. In the song – and real life? – despite
travelling the world, its good to have that one person that is a real anchor
and no matter where you go and what you see, everything can remind you of and
compare to that one person. Comparing
the best of towns and cities to the one you love is a nice take on a love song
– a slight flip on Thomas Rhett’s “Die A Happy Man”!
The song opens with a
country-pop flavoured drum and guitar intro before Danny’s recognisable vocals
join. As you’d expect from the team
behind Puzzle Maker studios the song is well crafted and well produced, and
while the vocal is very much centre stage the backing instrumentation is spot
on, with some lovely little guitar inserts and
great drum rhythm – plus a guitar solo sneaking in at the three quarter
mark!
Up-tempo, bouncy with a well
thought out theme, this co-write with Nashville based Tyler Bank will surely be
a solid addition to Danny’s live setlist – and of course we look forward to
seeing Danny bouncing back onto stages in his own style!
My Kinda City, the new
single from Danny McMahon is available on all major platforms from 15 May
