Ypsilanti, Michigan native Daniel Wilson isn’t so much an anomaly as he is a supremely talented singer/songwriter. He somehow manages to quasi-impersonate vocally greats like Smoky Robinson. Or in the case of the lead track Killed Ya the quirky best of a modern miracle like Cee Lo Green (Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley). Then musically inhabit the glissando of Brian Burton (Danger Mouse, Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells).

Mr. D. W. can effortlessly (or so it seems) compose sonics on par with say Bon Iver (Vernon Jordan) or melt a melody ala Caroline Smith. But a copycat Mr. Wilson most certainly isn’t, for he brings the fresh and unique force of his own imaginative spirit to the music making experience. For proof check out his latest The Boy Who Cried Thunder EP and be impressed. I am an instant fan. Oh my fav is the song Proofread. I am pricked. Peace.
