Blinker the Star Below The Sliding Doors Artist Home Page Check out August Everywhere at Amazon.com Check out August Everywhere at CDPlus.com

Label: Uni/Dream Works Records Released: 9/7/1999

Blinker the Star singer Jordan Zadorzny is a bit of a celebrity around these parts... it's not too often a small-town boy from rural Ontario heads off to L.A. and makes it (somewhat) big. So I thought I'd check out the single to see what the hoopla is all about.

This is one very cool song. Mellow, somewhat reminiscent of the 70's, it reminds me of something or someone but I'm not sure who. A bit of old Bowie, a bit of Beatles maybe? I dunno, I can't pinpoint it. The song is catchy in a mysterious way, blending mellow vocals, a slow groove and strings and keyboards into a very catchy psychedelic mix. Judging by the reviews I've read, the album sounds like it's also a mellow masterpiece. Check out the album or request the single on your local rock station.
