Edit this paragraph to introduce:

People first knew Daniel Powter from the song "Bad Day" , this song was selected as the advertising song by Coca-Cola last year. Since then, Daniel Powter's star has begun to shine, climbing multiple charts, becoming popular in Europe, and becoming a hit single on major radio stations. However, Daniel Powter really attracted the world's attention at the Live8 concert in Berlin in July this year. At that wealthy banquet under the banner of saving poverty, Daniel Powter played and sang for the first time in front of the whole world. That day once again became a Daniel's "Best Day" was released, followed by this album of the same name.

After listening to the entire album, I can’t help but compare Daniel Powter and James Blunt. Both of them have very unique voices, and they are both singer-songwriters who express their feelings directly. They are very similar in some singing styles. When I listened to "Free Loop" for the first time, I sang "But I don't know enough..." .” When I said: I KAO, isn’t this James Blunt! However, James Blunt's songs are simple and direct, with almost no modifications. Daniel Powter's songs are much more gorgeous, and even play with techniques wantonly, such as the falsetto that wanders around in "Suspect" and "Lie to me"; James Blunt's songs are very unique. Daniel Powter has a compassionate demeanor, while Daniel Powter is a bit cunning and cynical, but this should be an illusion. From the BBC interview and "Bad Day", we can see that Daniel Powter is actually an introverted shy yet positive and optimistic person; just like James Blunt's song Just like the guitar is always indispensable in any song, Daniel Powter is inseparable from the piano, which is one of the reasons why his works sound more varied. Another thing I like about Daniel Powter is that his preludes are very short, and the whole song is very short. Let’s get straight to the point. “Lost on the stoop” is sung as soon as it comes up.

Daniel (Daniel Powter) is a singer who always wears a fur hat, has superb piano skills, and has a strong sense of urban fashion in appearance. With his spiritual falsetto, in 2006 The first half of the year will shine in the American music scene. Daniel's delicate and unique sensibility and excellent piano skills allow him to always find themes for music creation in ordinary life, so he is known as "Daniel the Urban Piano Player". Urban piano player Daniel Powter's album was the first to be released outside the United States last year, and immediately set off a wave of "Bad Day" in European countries. In France, it was the number one for several weeks. The 2005 summer single It stayed at the runner-up spot on the UK Gold Chart for 3 consecutive weeks, and the overwhelming champion at that time was fellow senior fellow poet James Blunt, whose "You are beautiful/Beautiful You" stayed at the top of the singles chart for 5 consecutive weeks. As the song became popular, "Bad Day" was used as the theme song for European commercials by Coca-Cola.

The first album of the same name by "Urban Piano Player Daniel Powter" will be released in the United States in mid-April. As early as early February this year, "Bad Day" was The hit singing competition show "American Idol" chose it as a song to inspire contestants who were unfortunately eliminated in the finals. Taking advantage of the show's average viewership of 30 million people, the song was released as a single in the form of a single. It quickly became popular when it was released in the United States. It soared to No. 5 on the Hot 100 and Pop Singles charts in just five weeks after its release. After that, it advanced all the way to the runner-up position. However, at that time, the champion was still a fellow student who had met on a narrow road. Brother Captain Poet James Blount. And finally this week, in the latest Billboard pop singles chart, Daniel finally won the top spot on Billboard with "Bad Day", happily using bad weather to open up a good mood and get rid of the fate of being second in number. I am happy to be a brother, and I have put an end to the gloom of being nominated for the 2005 European MTV Music Awards for Best New Artist and the BRIT Awards for Best International Breakthrough Artist, but both failed. This is not only the good results of the urban piano player Daniel (Daniel Powter), but good news also came from Japan at the same time. Daniel's single Bad Weather and the album of the same name both won the first place in the Japanese international charts, which also made it possible for him to be released in mid-April. Daniel, who released his self-titled debut album in the United States, has become a highly anticipated debut artist this year.

Not only is the song "Bad Day" popular, but people who have watched the music video will also be deeply moved by the plot and smile knowingly. Many netizens who have watched it said that it was like "Jimmy"'s "turn left, go right" is somewhat similar. The plot of this music video mainly tells that the male and female protagonists are office workers living the same life day after day in this big city, and they have gradually lost their passion for life. One day, the heroine was in an extremely bad mood, so she drew a picture of a girl caught in the rain on a wall in the subway to express her bad mood. When she saw the hero of the painting, she playfully put a sign on the girl's hand. Hold an umbrella to protect her from the heavy rain. The next day, the heroine smiled happily when she saw the painting. During the "painting" for several days, the heroine took the question mark "?" left by the hero on the wall and drew half a love on the other side of the question mark. , connect the entire picture into a complete heart shape. The two made an appointment to meet each other in a good mood on a bad day. In fact, there is a little story behind this MV. That is, the day before the filming of this music video, a fire broke out in Daniel's home in Vancouver. The entire house was burned down, and all his belongings were burned down. It brought him to the bottom, and the saddest part was returning to the scene of the fire. When he saw all the items that were meaningful to him turned into a pile of ashes, he felt an indescribable sense of loss. But in order to complete the work, Daniel still showed up on time on the day of filming. However, when he wanted to interpret a bad mood, he did not need to prepare it at all. As soon as he recalled the burned down love house, he could immediately fall into the bad mood.

This single "Bad Day", which has caused a global craze, mainly expresses the tiredness of office workers in big cities who live a mechanical life day after day. It expresses the feeling that modern people lack the passion for life. This Canadian singer-songwriter "City Piano Player Daniel (Daniel Powter)" has aroused the excitement of music fans around the world. The self-titled debut album "Daniel Powter" has a catchy quality and an infectious rhythm that leaves a deep impression in people's minds after listening to it once. Open a window to the vast sea and sky for unhappy urbanites around the world.

Daniel Powter, a model of perseverance who has sharpened his sword for 15 years

Daniel Powter grew up in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. He loved music since he was a child and learned to play the violin. His behavior that was different from other children of the same age caused him to be isolated everywhere in school, so he poured all his passion into music, which paved the way for his later choice of music. Unlike some iconic American and Canadian artists who experienced instant stardom, it took 15 years for Daniel's tireless efforts to finally bear fruit. His bitter struggle process was full of bitterness. He diligently created and played music, traveled around to contact record companies, and kept getting rejected. Daniel himself said, "I was always running to the record company, and it felt like I was so thirsty that I was taken to some water source and not allowed to drink." He added, "But I think I got there, basically All I had to do was wait, and admitting defeat was just a very immature way to deal with it.”

It was Daniel’s perseverance and tenacity that led him to the road to success. Last year Coca-Cola selected his song "Bad Day" to be used in a two-week advertising campaign, and since then it has climbed the charts in Europe and has since become a hit in his native Canada. Daniel’s popularity in Europe has skyrocketed, which even he finds unbelievable. “The thing that surprised me the most is that this song is also very popular in some non-English-speaking countries. When I heard the news, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so popular. what is going on? "I don't speak German, French, Spanish or Italian.

I've been playing music my whole life and I never thought for a moment that one of my songs would be played on the radio. "

In addition to the unbearable long wait and hard work, Daniel also had to overcome stage fright. At the beginning of this month, he conducted an experiment at Live 8 in Berlin with thousands of people. "I turned the piano towards Trees so that when I look up all I see are trees. He laughed when he talked about it himself. "I used to feel very vulnerable when I was performing in small bars on the West Coast, but once the audience hums along with you, that feeling of vulnerability disappears." "

Daniel's debut album "dp" was completed together with producers Mitchell Froom and Jeff Dawson ***. The album includes 10 tracks, the first of which is exquisite and beautiful. The lead single "Bad Day" " is a comfortable pop work. The simple piano accompaniment slowly floats into the ears. Daniel's fresh and high-pitched singing voice is occasionally interspersed with falsetto transitions, which appears to be powerful yet smooth. In addition to the popular Pop elements, Daniel also Trying to cleverly blend Funk, Soul, and Rock to create a fresh and infectious new sound. Several songs on the album such as "Hollywood" and "Give Me Life" immediately reminded me of another talented person. Multi-faceted artist Remy Shand, the two magnetic voices are surprisingly similar, and the light and elegant soul style is also similar to Remy's music.

This "newcomer" has been sharpening his skills for 15 years. We can only wait and see whether the new album will gain widespread recognition
