Listen to THIS voice and to THIS beautiful song (David McAlmont)

(Sorry, I'm quite clumsy with these things, can anyone help me to put the youtube link in order?)

British singer David McAlmont joined forces with Michael Nyman for the album The Glare, which included this extremely beautiful song, Secrets, Accusations And Charges. Listen to a vocal performance that's difficult to equal. So icy and toaching that it's difficult to bear without shivering or crying.

Judging by the intensity of this discussion, I'm not going to contribute to McAlmont's rise from his unfair underground status... confused

I know he's not as good as Rihanna, but come on!

I posted it because I find it incredibly unfair how underrated he is. He got some success in the mid 90's when he formed a duo with Suede's guitarist (and Duffy's producer) Bernard Butler, but he deserves much more. I mean, his voice is beautiful. I can't name many singers who can equal this.

That's what happens when music gets neglected like that. Especially with voices like his accompanying it. Thanks for bringing it to this board...which it so desperately needed.

Well, finally there's some discussion!

I'll post two more songs. (Please help me with the video links, and if someone explains how to do it to me, I'd be grateful.)

This is the first single from the McAlmont-Nyman album. Also excellent.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...ek-UJghg8s

And this is the awesome Yes, the hit single composed by McAlmont with Suede's Bernard Butler. It's like listening to a Phil Spector production. Actually, the productor is Mike Hedges, who later did the Manics' album Everything Must Go.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...JSaRw1vjxM

Butler learnt a lot from these records, as one can see in their recent productions for Duffy or Nerina Pallot.

McAlmont And Butler releases a second album in 2003, Bring It Back, which is also brilliant.

thumbs up! I'm really taken by "Take The Momey And Run"--it has this dreamy but slightly manic urgency to it that's unfectious.
