For Dylan John Thomas, music is more than just background decoration – it’s the absolute core of his life. Growing up in care, he was latterly diagnosed with ADHD, with music helping him to root him during times of trouble. Life may have given him a few knocks, but on this debut album he knocks right back, forever looking to the light.
Honed across those breakthrough live shows – including some feverish Scottish dates – this self-titled LP is an affecting batch of anthems-in-the-making. Speaking his truth, Dylan John Thomas has mastered the jaunty singalong, but is able to pull the heartstrings with an often devastating lyrical turn of phrase.
Fan favourite ‘Fever’ is a neat opener, while the likes of ‘What I Need’ feel tailormade for his audience. ‘Up In The Air’ captures the songwriter during a time of doubt, the ache in his voice managing to sound pure, and unaffected. ‘Melancholy’s Cure’ turns away from the darkness, an ode to music as a force of good in his life. ‘Rich Boy’ looks at the divide in society, with Dylan John Thomas forever speaking up for those on the margins.
ADHDらしい。
