Landon Pigg – The Boy Who Never
“I think that possibly maybe I’m falling for you.”
Earlier Landon Pigg was mentioned in a music commercial post. If “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop,” was played a general consensus would state that the song is from a ring commercial on television, even though Pigg has released other singles from his second album LP. Many of the artists featured on television are known by their one song, and not for their real musical talents. Luckily, I’m here to clear that up.
Landon Pigg’s new album, Boy Who Never, is a warm and calming ride, fit for the cloudiest or brightest days. The album begins with “The Far,” a more up beat tempo song of a simple love story of a couple making it to where they are. However, it’s not the beats that compose the song, but Pigg’s voice carries the listener through the story, while maintaining a perfect level of emotion. The second song, and second single, however, has an instrumental beat that creates the song. A jazz-like melody in the beginning characterizes the song with a saxophone, a piano, and a consistent cymbal rhythm. This lovely instrumental moves the song along, accompanied well with Landon’s voice. The next song, “Blue Skies,” is my highlight of the album, about a love story gone wrong this time, turning blue skies to gray. Towards the end of the song, a familiar piano sequence appears, reminding me of the classic “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship.
“Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” then passes, a classic love song that should not be passed up. “Take a Chance” is slightly catchy, then “The Boy Who Never” slows back down with a soft drum beat accompanied by a calm violin. Although peaceful, the song that labels the album is not greatly captivating, and feels incomplete. “Made for Glory” sings about a savior, and “Speak to the Keys” provides a little more pop to the album than heard up until that point. “Rooftops” is a gentle song, with an instrumental vibe close to Keane’s. Lastly, the album closes up with another slow song complete with a piano and Pigg’s continuously soothing voice.
In all, the album contains a smooth vibe that warms the soul with different emotions of love. However, each song individually does not hold enough creativity in itself to make specific songs pop out. That said, the album still does create an aura of peaceful happiness and love fit to purify the heart with its sound.
