BIRTH - FOUND A WAY OUT (GOTTEN BOLD) Does anyone remember this song from 2000? Apparently it got loads of airplay in the UK but never charted  Well, I bought it! It's a brilliant song...
This is a review from Amazon re the band: The slightly mysterious Birth is actually a floating band of session players and chums revolving around the talents of a multi-instrumentalist chappie who calls himself DL. On the evidence of Gotten Bold, he's an accomplished songwriter, in a blue-eyed soul/R&B kind of way, but without the dazzling super-sheen that reduces so much of this kind of thing to antiseptic heartlessness. His voice is a little George Michael-ish on "Solair", with its super-chilled female French rapper and his angry wah-wah guitar snarling away at the end, and his tastier guitar licks suggest he could give Lenny Kravitz or Prince a run for their money. There's more than a hint of a McCartney melody about his debut single, "Sweet Idol", and the presence of long-time Bee Gees member Blue Weaver on several cuts ensures an impressive range of imaginative keyboard sounds. There's no obvious huge hit single here, so the songs can take a couple of plays to sink in, but DL is an artist who, given time and support, will develop into a serious long-term prospect. --Johnny Black Anyone else like it?  | |

'Found a way out' doesn't remind me of GM though... [Edited 10/17/08 9:13am] | |

But seriously, this guy does sound a lot like George in places. Parts of it remind me of "Waiting For That Day". I was thinking maybe this guy could be to George what Jason Maliachi(?) is to MJ. Let's face it, George ain't gonna have a new album out any time soon and you need something to fill in the gap.
