Review by STONE
Washington state's Tj Clark is a one-man band. Literally. From just one listen to his demo single, "Forever Be My Girl", you can tell that this guy is very, very serious about becoming a major pop star idol. Tj has been singing all of his life; only recently performing out on occassion and realizing that now is the time to make dreams happen. Record labels beware: Tj is willing do anything (not porn related) to make it in the industry. Permorming mainly in the Federal Way area in Washington, Tj has two singles available on his page at NewMusicLabel.Com -- including a rather spicy rendition of Enrique Iglesias' "Hero".
This song starts out nice and strong with a single acoustic guitar, bass, and an extremely crisp drum track leading us through a wistful verse and bridge and finally crashing into a catchy pop chorus. The song itself is rather short, weighing in at only one chorus and much, much less than three minutes. Tj's vocals are probably on the same level as many of the other pop group lead singers -- with a little more training and practice, I could see Tj surely making his way in the mainstream pop-idol world. He'll be on the inside door of lockers of young girls everywhere any day now; right beside the hairspray and the personalized pencils.
Man, can this boy program some drums. Runs, fills, backbeat -- for a guy with a guitar, this boy wonder can do it all when it comes to proggie drums. In fact, the drums are probably the strongest part of the song --
-- as well as the most distracting. It's almost like they didn't really fit. Imagine a laid-back acoustic guitar track, uncompressed but recorded moderately well, and then this ... huge ... drum track overlaying the entire song. Imagine Animal from Jim Hensen's "Muppet Show" sitting in with the Indigo Girls. But man, can this boy program some drums.
Interested in learning more about Tj Clark? You can just go over to his profile at NewMusicLabel.Com and learn more. Maybe even drop a listen to his cover of "Hero" there on his main page. New Music Label is actually kind of an interesting site ... or sight ... there are lots of folks there persuing a career in the pop world, and you can feel free to peruse them all. In fact, I see everything from Nigeria singer REGALYKE's "Loose it Baby" (as well as his follow up demo single, "Loose it Mammi") to Green Bay area's Athena singing her original "Simply In Love". Whatever you do, you've got to go see this yourself. As for Tj, check out his page at New Music Label by going directly to: http://newmusiclabel.com/user_profile.asp?user_id=489. And ... uhm ... be sure to check out the sights and sounds along the way, eh
