Having made his mark with his single "Keep Your Head Up," which stormed the AC and Adult Top 40 charts, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Andy Grammer follows up with a full-length self-titled album of more of the same. Grammer is nothing if not ingratiating, constructing infectious pop/rock arrangements and singing lyrics of love in his bouncy tenor. He borrows lightly from hip-hop in the music and reveals the influence of rap in the vocals, coming up with lots of lyrics and internal rhymes. But there is also the echo of jazzy vocalese, so that he's far closer to Michael Franks than to any rapper. In fact, his closest antecedent may be John Mayer, that is, the John Mayer of "Your Body Is a Wonderland," not the John Mayer intent on proving he has guitar chops like Jimi Hendrix. Grammer basically wants to make musical catnip for a female audience, usually directing himself to a significant other and singing words of encouragement and affection. Even when things don't seem to be going so well (and it's hard to imagine why) in, for instance, "You Should Know Better," he is calling his respondent "the one I love" and assuring her, "I still believe in you." And if, despite this, she still dumps him, in "Miss Me," he feels certain she will come back. In "Ladies," Grammer explains that he has come by his honeyed message for all females by heeding what he was told by his mother, and he freely tells all women within earshot, "You are beautiful, you don't even have to try." It seems likely that a significant number of them won't be able to resist his charms. He closes the album with "Biggest Man in Los Angeles," a typically sunny reminiscence of his days busking the streets of his hometown. Rosy as he makes it sound, he probably isn't going to have to do that again. ~ William Ruhlmann

商品の紹介

自身の曲の累計ダウンロード数が100万突破、次にブレイクが期待されるアーティストのバロメーターでもあるビルボード誌Heatseekerチャートでもナンバー1を獲得。デビュー･シングル「Keep Your Head Up」がUSとオーストラリアでゴールド･ディスクに認定された、LA出身のシンガー･ソングライター、アンディー･グラマー。その彼のデビュー･アルバムが、ワーナーミュージック傘下のS-Curveレコーズから発売が決定! 既に本国アメリカでは、テイラー･スウィフト、コルビー･キャレイなどのオープニング･アクトを務め、自らのヘッドライン･ツアーもソールド･アウトとなるほどの人気ぶりを見せるアンディー･グラマー。『アンディー･グラマー』と名付けられた彼のS-Curveレコーズ第一弾となる今作のプロデュースを手掛けるのは、マット･ウォレス (マルーン5、R.E.M.)、S*A*M* & Sluggo (Katy Perry、Metro Station)など、いずれも数多くのポップヒットを世に送り出してきた錚々たる面々。そんな彼らに臆することなく、アンディーは「Keep Your Head Up」や「Fine By Me」などをはじめとするハートウォーミングな歌詞と思わず一緒に口ずさみたくなるようなメロディーをもった曲を次から次へと繰り出していく。ローリン･ヒル、ジャック･ジョンソン、ジョン･メイヤーやコールドプレイ、そしてコモンなどに影響を受けたという彼は、ロサンゼルスの街角で、アコースティック･ギターとカーバッテリーにつなげたアンプで演奏をすることからそのキャリアが始まったという。楽しい時には一緒に喜び、悲しい時にはそっと寄り添ってくれる歌がここにある…!

Rovi

フェイクに頼ったりムードに逃げたりすることなく、大きな声で堂々と前を向いて歌う。そういう明快な男性シンガーだから、非常に清々しい--アダム・レヴィーンとジョン・メイヤーの中間を行くような歌唱に親しみやすさと男臭さが感じられる、L A出身の28歳によるデビュー・アルバム。ハートウォーミングな軽快ポップソングを中心に、時折ジェイミー・カラムっぽいスウィング感も混ぜて進んでいく爽快作だ。
