Sweet 80’s pop/R&B throwback: “Knock Me Off My Feet” by Toronto’s @DanTalevski

DAN TALEVSKI, “Knock Me Off My Feet”

Regular readers of this blog know that two songs from 2015 that I wrote about prominently were “Guilty As Sin” (which finished as my #10 song of the year) and “My Religion” by Toronto singer/songwriter Dan Talevski.  Dan’s talent can slide very easily into the list of many Canadian performers that broke out in 2015, but he will need a few more songs under his belt to find that wider audience that will eat up his songs.  “Knock Me Off My Feet” is simply sweet 80’s-influenced pop/R&B  (with obvious an obvious Michael Jackson reference point) that will have no problem getting national radio play across Canada and could easily turn heads outside of Canada.  It contains a universal message with another fine vocal that fits into the pop/R&B style so smoothly.  It’s not as spicy or edgy as his previous singles lyrically but Dan Talevski is well on his way with “Knock”, which should have some long legs and last through the summer.  Pick it up on iTunes.
