With "Sun Goes Down," David Jordan invented a new music genre: pirate pop. I know, I know, Latvia did pirates at Eurovision this year, but that was in a preexisting music genre. David's falsetto-filled debut single left me with no interest in him, but as soon as PopJustice posted a clip of "Sun Goes Down" near the beginning of the year, I was suddenly sold--this was music when creativity combines with pop brilliance, brilliance that is very much commercial-friendly. It's still such an exciting fun (and yes, catchy) record even today that I can't help hoping that, despite the odds, David gets a chance at a second album--we can use more people shaking up the music charts when the shaking takes on forms like this. Really, "Sun Goes Down" is just this: a great pop song.Find it on: Set The Mood
