Artist. David Ryan Harris

Artist. David Ryan Harris: The Bittersweet is an important album. It's also one of the best in the last five years. David Ryan Harris understands what it means to be a lyricist in an increasing age of catchy pop hooks and infectious instrumentals. He's not fabricated, he is indeed real, and all you have to do is listen to any of the eleven songs off of his album to come to the same conclusion.

David's work is one of the most important albums because it represents hope. Hope that in our lifetime we might have another artist by the likes of Donny Hathaway or Otis Redding grace us with their ability. It would be foolish of us to place David Harris in the same league as those amazing artists based off of this one album that I love, but if he keeps this up, one day it'll be more than a notion. Armed with a dangerously smooth voice, amazing range, and mean guitar playing abilities, Harris’ The Bittersweet is “the sweetest berry on the vine.”
