Strong Feelings

Description

"Just 10 new songs, unadorned, simpler than what I've done before, but still just as serious," is how Doug Paisley modestly describes *Strong Feelings*, his new album. It's with this understated approach that the Toronto singer-songwriter prefers to let his songs speak for themselves. Simple acoustic guitar and piano arrangements, a discreet style that adds depth to his tracks, speaking of relationships at various stages. On *Strong Feelings*, Paisley expands the sound, recording with different musicians but always maintaining his signature. Sometimes, an album goes straight to your heart. Listening to "Constant Companion" reminds us of the greatest songwriters: CAT STEVENS, JAMES TAYLOR, JIM CROCE... Whether bearing the burden of his existence alone or in a duet with FEIST and GARTH HUDSON, DOUG PAISLEY offers us a beautifully crafted album that will delight melancholic souls and lovers of fine literature.
