| Will Engel's debut album, This Could Be Heaven, lives up to the promise of its title, delivering an enjoyable cinematic ride. His rough vocal style on songs like "Secrets" has often been compared to Tom Waits and his bluesy piano style on songs like "White Lies" has drawn comparisons to Norah Jones. While the catchy pop melodies on songs like "Long Way from Home" will grab your attention, the atmospheric studio ambiance of the album, most evident on songs like "Gimme Some Relief" and "Peace of Mind" makes it feel like the lost soundtrack from your favorite Gus Van Sant film. |
