David Myles
Biography
In the Nighttime … from dinner party to dance party
David Myles’ new double album, In the Nighttime, is what happens when the two sides of his musical persona - sultry crooner and energetic showman - join forces. Disc One is a full-length album brimming with vintage pop songs and romantic folk ballads. Disc Two is a six song EP of contemporary, beat-laden tracks produced by hip hop artist Classified. One is the soundtrack for your dinner party, while the other gets the dance party started. Each album establishes a different mood, but both are powered by Myles’ superior songwriting and smooth vocals.
Myles says: “They are both dream records. The full-length represents the ultimate session with the best live players. The EP was the product of an amazing ongoing collaboration, and I couldn’t help but include it. This has been a really creative time, and the double album is a complete picture of where I am right now, musically.”
Disc One features Myles’ trademark love songs. “What Would I Have To Do” perfectly captures the soaring emotions of unrequited love. Myles sings: “In the nighttime, when you’re falling asleep, is there even a chance that you’re thinking of me?” That sense of longing weaves in and out of the collection, reaffirming the songwriter’s status as a true romantic. Myles also includes a series of songs inspired by the doo-wop style of the 1950s. “Change My Mind” is a lament for simpler times: “I’ve never seen any reason to move on, from listening to records and taking the train…” Guest vocalists Rose Cousins and Meaghan Smith complete the journey back in time with picture-perfect “shoo-bee-doo-wah” harmonies.
