Keegan DeWitt - Nothing Shows EP

I will admit that I have previously pigeonholed Keegan DeWitt into the realm of talented singer songwriters putting out introspective compositions that are top notch in their execution but not always entirely appealing to my ears. However, this new EP (due out in mid-July via Daytrotter) shows that's not the only trick he's got up his sleeve. Much of the disc is comprised of heartbreaking pop songs that legitimately express their emotion; no put-on drama... some of these tracks can stab you down but there's also a few tracks that show a far more upbeat Keegan - something I'd love to hear peppered in more often. If 'Say La La' doesn't make it in your Most Played list sometime soon I'd be real surprised. [www.keegandewitt.com]
