David Mead: Wherever You Are
Label: Eleven Thirty
4 out of 5 stars

After serving time in RCA’s vaults for almost three
years, six songs from David Mead’s intended follow-up
to 2001’s splendid Mine and Yours finally, thankfully,
see the light of day. It picks up right where Mine and
Yours left off, with producer Stephen Hague (New
Order, Pet Shop Boys) wisely leaving his drum machines
at home and letting Mead do his thing. The title track
is one of his best, an exquisitely crafted classic pop
song highlighted by his flawless tenor, and “Hold On”
is a gem as well. The man is one soundtrack
contribution away from finding the audience he so
richly deserves. ~David Medsker (06/24/05)
