Danny Marcus is a New Jersey artist whose music is a balance of folk and pop rock to give you the best of both worlds. His latest release is a six-song EP Pieces of Me, which pretty much covers a singer/songwriter vibe with Marcus mostly on guitar belting out these tunes. The simple and sparse sound at times worked out in favor of the emotionality emanating from these tracks. He imbues in his vocals tons of color and flavor into his singing, oftentimes evoking sentimental and nostalgic images from the listeners’ past.
Pieces of Me opens up with “17 Again,” where some great vibes come from the acoustic guitar. Next, Marcus’s vocals enter for a great sound. The pop vibes on this track sounded infectious. I greatly enjoyed the melodious and harmonious sounds and liked how bright and vibrant the tones were. Some beats and finger-picking on the guitar arrives for a searing sound on “Ain’t No Fan.” Next, some guitars enter and Marcus’s dynamic vocals add to the great sound and energy of this number. Some warm vibes come from the acoustic guitar on “Beautiful.” Next, I was getting folk and country vibes from Marcus’s vocals. It made for a genuine sound. On “California,” more melodious guitars come through. Both acoustic and electric guitars are interwoven. This felt like an uplifting ballad, where Marcus really belts out the vocals with feeling. There was a pensive mood to this track that I greatly enjoyed. On “Love You, Long For You,” some piano and guitar come together for a great sound. On this upbeat, pop song, Marcus sings with verve and energy. This felt like another feel-good track that everyone could enjoy. There was a ton of mood and feeling to this track. More electric and acoustic guitar are interwoven into the sounds on the title-track “Pieces Of Me.” Marcus’s melodious vocals light up the sounds. This proved to be a great listening experience as the upbeat sounds and feel-good vibes really made my day. This proved to be an amazing closer! Marcus brings a great folksy pop rock flavor to this group of songs. I liked how fresh and invigorating they felt. Marcus definitely brings a great energy to these tracks. The artist takes us on a journey with his sound and by the time the album’s over, you’ll never be the same again. This was a good start from the artist and I can’t wait to hear more from him soon!
