I cannot believe I'm about to write this but 'Dive In' is a smashing collection of optimistic acoustic-pop. No! Wait! Don't go!
Hear me out first before you pigeonhole my music tastes in with your toe-tapping-mother and hormone-loaded teenage sister.
For one thing this is all Darius' own work. Not a cover version in sight. Knowing the Pop Stars and Pop Idol factory this is a miracle in itself.
The lyrics need a bit of work and sometimes the tracks sound a little over produced, by otherwise it's rather inspiring. Staying this side of cheese the highlights are Darius' two hit singles and the title track 'Dive In'. Hit me Darius, one more tiiiiimmmmme!
Three Globes out five. SMH
