SPINCOUNT Featured Artist of the Week
DAVID MYLES
Setting out to make his fourth album,Turn Time Off, David Myles knew he was ready to try something a little different. His earlier releases, Things Have Changed (2006) and On The Line (2008) had already established his reputation as a versatile, genre-bending artist with a knack for effortlessly straddling jazz, blues, folk and pop styles. Produced by acclaimed Nova Scotia musician Joel Plaskett, Turn Time Off is a smooth, soul-infused pop record that pays tribute to crooners and lovers alike.
A gifted and spirited songwriter, Myles was a winner in the 2009 International Songwriting Competition where he was judged by the likes of Tom Waits and Brian Wilson. He was also recently named to represent New Brunswick (his home province) in the Great Canadian Song Quest competition on CBC Radio. His last album, On the Line, won Folk Recording of the Year at the 2009 East Coast Music Awards, where he was also nominated as Male Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. Myles was also won the Folk/Roots Recording of the Year for Music Nova Scotia in 2007.
Turn Time Off is a trifecta of excellent writing, beautiful melodies and strong hooks.
