I just came across the Web site for local artist Brent Paxton and am most curious about the mysterious gent. His Web site all seems last updated in August of 07 but has some great tunes playing while I perused. OK, I just heard one and that was “Up and Down” but it had me head bopping. According to the site, his debut album My Addiction came out last December and was available on his MySpace page. Huh? I couldn’t find it when I went on there so I assume I just missed out. However, it sounds intriguing. His site describes Addiction as ” an assortment of fast-paced pop dance beats, smooth rock ballads, and get on your feet electronica sounds…My Addiction (also titled Mi Adiccion) is an Enrique Iglesias-styled album with most singles in Spanish and English…Up & Down is no different, a Spanish version will be coming soon.”
Umm…ok, so where is this guy? There is no news on the site and no upcoming shows. Why isn’t Dallas’ next pop star saying too much? Well, he is…sort of. According to his MySpace page, he did log on today and left a pensive blog piece just a few days ago. He has a link from his site to YouTube where I found his song demo “Bang! Bang!” without a video. Just an image to a song and that song pumps it just as well. Oh and a video his boyfriend did for a friend of his and…um…I don’t know what that was about.
Perhaps he’s biding his time as most artists do between releases. We hope anyways because the stuff he’s releasing ain’t too bad. Perhaps this brooding silence will unleash songs that are even better than the “old” stuff.
Brent had some personal tragedy in his family and postponed the album. You definitely didn’t miss it, it just hasn’t come out yet. He does have a new song coming out called Insomnia before the year ends. He’s been writing for some publications, too. He’s also a writer and producer.
He’s been really busy working on the album and making his true launch memorable.
