SEAN O’REILLY, “Ready For You Now”
New Haven, Connecticut’s Sean O’Reilly is a major talent worth watching for, if “Ready For You Now” from his Volume 1 album is any indication. In this song you have one truly original piano man package wrapped up with smatterings of Rufus Wainwright wordplay, Patrick Wolf attitude, Brandon Flowers vocalizing, and Mika playfulness. Plus “Ready For You Now” may remind you, at times, vocally, of “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. I’m not sure what I like best, Sean’s piano thrashing that keeps the almost 5 minute song from faltering, or when he sings at the top of his lungs, which really drives “Ready For You Now” home. Sean even went out into pre-Hurricane Sandy weather to make the video (below) for this song. Talk about dedication to your craft! Though this record actually came out in 2012, 2014 is definitely the time for Sean O’Reilly to break through.
