Troy, NY singer/songwriter Sean Rowe recently released his fourth album (fifth, if counting the re-release of Magic on ANTI Records), Madman. The madly talented vocalist and songwriter ventures further out from folk and roots of previous releases like The Salesman & The Shark, incorporating elements of blues, soul, gospel, r&b, and even pop. As always, Rowe’s commanding and mesmerizing baritone drives the songs while also enhancing the emotional weight of the stories, continuing to execute masterfully as he expands to other genres. Standouts among the twelve tracks include opener and title track, “Madman”; “Desiree”, “The Drive”; and “It Won’t be Long.” – Written by SMarx
