If it’s true that the magnitude of an artist can also be judged by the company they keep , then David Justin is already one step ahead of the rest, glancing through the crew that’s been working on his “Supernova” project. It includes resonating names like: Mikal Blue(One Republic, Colbie Caillat and Five for Fighting), Mark Grilliot(Diddy, Pitbull), Mark Weinberg(Matt Nathanson, O.A.R., Tyler Hilton), Adrian Newman(Michael Franti, Jesse McCartney, Carrie Underwood), plus Songwriters: Josiah Rosen, Krysta Youngs and Phil Bentley.
And hey, if you’re not quite impressed yet, then add the fact that Justin’s latest single, and first track from the upcoming album,“Supernova” – currently available on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon – has been gaining massive airplay, so far extending its reach to over 4 million listeners on Skyrock FM in Paris and has receiving over 3,000 spins in the first month on U.S. Top 40 Internet Radio stations worldwide. “Supernova” debuted on Pandora, Sirius, XM, BBC Radio worldwide the week of July 4th, 2014 along with the official video releasing on VEVO simultaneously. The video features Caitlin O’ Connor and Christine Lakin alongside David Justin and his band.
David Justin is one of the very few artists that manage to bring something new to the indie table. He is a master story teller, an awesome composer and a top notch singer. Moreover he is a full package artist, which is a rarity for the independent music industry.
Justin’s vivid storytelling and memorable melody weaves itself into a rich tapestry on “Supernova”, which leaves the listener wanting more when the final note is played. If you lie back and close your eyes, you could almost believe that you were there. The song has music that captures the mood and creates the atmosphere that the words relate – the flight of falling stars, the crashing of meteorites, the colliding of hearts, and the fear and heartbreak of leaving and losing loved ones; a truly triumphant indie-pop masterpiece.
This single is a treat and other artists should take note… this is how it’s done! The arrangement, the melody, the lyrics, the musicians…. Impeccable! “Supernova” brings David Justin’s vocal intensity together with his pop sensibility into one very cohesive track, which is hard to resist.
Assured, precious and evocative, “Supernova”, is a perfect balance of Justin’s many sounds and timbres. His super formula of building energy in part one, exploding in part two, then settling down to a quiet place in part three, only to explode in the last segment again, is brilliantly executed and transported into ‘epic’ due to the sheer beauty and power of his voice.
I am hard pressed to believe that an absolute talent like David Justin will be allowed to remain under the ‘indie’ label for much longer!
Don’t sleep on this. Get onto this artist before he hits the big time, which is inevitable in my book, and you’re not able to afford the ticket prices any-more!
