Sean Nicholas Savage: “Comet”
Sean Nicholas Savage has always followed his own artistic star wherever it has led him.
Over the years the musician has taken on many forms, from the literate folk strummer of Moving Up In Society, to the coke-glam synth popper of Bermuda Nightfall, to the mainstage musical adventurism of his latest LP Shine. Is Sean Nicholas Savage a show tunes artist these days?
Our highlighted track “Comet” listens like a solo ballad number from a Captain EO-era Michael Jackson short film. If you tightened up the production and slicked up the sound, the tune would not be out of place on the soundtrack to Space Jam. But there’s a touch of grit in the mood of the record, reminding you that this is no put-on for kids. It’s Disney pop for adults who have made the post-irony transit into the sincerity simulacrum.
