"A self-proclaimed manic romantic, Brian Mackey says that, "He's in love with the idea of love." After giving his RED CD a listen, you too may forget all the bullshit that consumes your life and just live on loving. With a power rock sound like Coldplay and Oasis, and a voice that reminds one of James Blunt, I find it hard to believe that Brian Mackey isn’t heard on major radio.
The opener to this stellar 4-track disc “Painted Red” tells us of Brian’s love. His Love makes his world a little bit easier to deal with and how no matter what the circumstances, his Love will endure. Something everyone wants, everlasting love and companionship. “Come Out Of The House” speaks of Love also but it in different sense. Like John Cusack in Say Anything, Brian Mackey is outside his lovers house willing her to come with him and leave another “after he goes to bed” because their Love is special and will last.
As a songwriter myself, I relate to Brian Mackey in a very special way. There’s nothing more satisfying than writing a Love song. It’s the perfect way to express ones uninterrupted thoughts towards another. Even if that special someone never hears the words you’ve written for him or her, the songwriter feels a sense of completion. In other words, it’s a great way to get over someone. You’d be surprised that these love songs are universal and that they can relate to everyone and every situation.
This is an easy listen that will leave you singing Brian Mackey’s hooks all day long, and then some. Give Brian Mackey a listen.
Check him out on November 12th on Cape Cods WKKL for a live interview."
