Customer Reviews

King for 10 years!
Bobby conn will probbaly never better his first 2 albums (bobby conn, rise up) So your expectations are not so high when he relases a new album. But still the man still relases such albums that knock spots off the so called great bands of today. What is so great about conn is the weirdness in his songs. Take punch the sky for example. Under 2 mins and straight away it grabs your attention and you do really wanna punch the sky wit him when he shouts it out towards the end. Then you have the title track king for a day which is instantley likeable. The chorus you cant help but sing along too. The same can be said about love let me down. Both songs are great pop gems. Mr lucky is also an interesting song.
It is very cheesey but yet very beautiful and has monica doing lead vocals. It would be good to have her sing more on future conn albums because i do rate her vocals. Bobby too is also a great singer when he makes the effort. Check out his vocal range towards the end of the song Things. But of course the album does have its flaws (anybody, sinking ship,a glimpse of paradise) I kinda miss the raw aspect of conn's music but i guess fatherhood has changed him. But there is still enough here to say that this guy is still one of the best musical artists around!
