With youthful and energetic vocals that could make any girl swoon, fun and amiable instrumentals, and sing-along-ready lyrics, Will Champlin’s debut album is a rare pop music gem. In fact, it’s almost impossible to pin down the “likely single” here, as each one of these tracks could easily earn a spot in MTV’s rotation. Champlin’s first release blends tracks that range from straightforward pop to rockin’ melodies that call to mind the likes of Maroon 5. The album’s lead track and ultimate standout, “California,” is an enchanting ode to our fair state. And while the rest of the record isn’t as upbeat as “California” lets on, it’s no matter. Champlin’s effort is an emotional journey through stories of heartache, love, and life lessons that youngsters everywhere can relate to. Will Champlin plays SOhO (1221 State St.) this Thursday, August 6, at 6:30 p.m. Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com for details.
