There is indeed much high praise about singer/producer/remixer Penguin Prison in the Blogverse. What’s surfacing online about this talented gent from NYC (real name: Chris Glover) shows how original and diverse he is. First we have the gritty and edgy “Something I’m Not”, with its blend of Caribbean and pop influences, currently one of my very favourites of 2010. Now we have “The Worse It Gets”, which goes all charming pure pop on us. Despite its title, the melody lilts along into definitive Spring-to-Summer mode, with heavy 70’s So-Cal influences in tow. The Starsmith remix chirps along in even more retro mode.
And what’s best about it all. IT’S FREE. So many artists are using free downloads to anchor a fanbase, which means that not only will those who enjoy them buy their music when it’s no longer free, but they’ll buy their merch and pay to go to their shows as well – hardly rocket science!!
Download the original version of “The Worse It Gets” right here and the Starsmith remix right here.
And you lucky folks in London and New York City get Penguin Prison shows in April and May 🙂
