While listening to Michael Nappi’s songs I almost forgot that I was listening to someone who isn’t currently being played all over the radio. His songs sound so good that you would just assume that he must be a well-known singer. Michael has a pop/rock style that is in itself unique, but at the same time doesn’t stray too far from the norms, allowing for a large mainstream acceptance. His debut album Here We Go Again was just released at the end of October, and from the songs I’ve heard on his Myspace profile, I have a feeling it will do quite well.

Michael Nappi’s songs on his album tend to deal with specific events in his life, but they are written in a way that allow for a broader meaning. My favorite song of Michael’s is 7:26. Although it starts out talking about a specific time that he was on the radio, it goes on to say how you should always make the most of things, because you never know when your time will be up. In case you couldn’t tell from my previous postings, I’m pretty big on songs having catchy choruses, and Michael Nappi doesn’t disappoint. I think the chorus in 7:26 is pretty awesome. In fact, all of his songs have pretty awesome choruses.

I think that Save the Night in a Bottle is one of Michael’s more unique songs, and is definitely worth checking out. I really like the song Here We Go Again. The melody just sounds really good. It sounds like something that could be used as a theme song for a television show (I mean that in a good way). Like one of those shows about a family where the kids are always getting into trouble. I could see the song Gone most easily being played on the radio. It’s about a guy breaking up with his girlfriend who claims that he won’t care when she’s gone, when in reality he will. Apparently Mix 98.5 in Boston agrees with me about the radio quality of Gone, because they’re going to be playing it on the air tomorrow night.

I would encourage you to check out Michael Nappi’s songs. You can hear five of them on his Myspace page, and if you like them you can click here to buy his MP3s.
