Ghetto Love
Studio-Album – Oliver Dean

Dean reveals himself as an unusual poet, a dandy of melancholy. Heavy organs and driving drums, balladesque pianos and mourning guitars. Add to this Dean's voice, which seems to caress the words before pronouncing them, singing them out. Pure emotion. Dean sometimes seems to choke on his melancholy. But he remains the dandyesque singer, foreboding, knowing, feeling the doom. Dean is the narrator of melancholy love relationships. He is the man who observingly tells the little stories. The little stories that mean more to us than the big world events.

Dean took three years to present his debut. And for comparisons with Bowie, Cale and Reed, this multi-instrumentalist has created a legendary "Laissez faire, but take live serious" album. Sometimes melancholically close, the chorus then sung more distantly. Sometimes melancholically and emotionally scarred, sometimes full of emotion for a new day after a long night, this is how the songs work and entangle the listener pleasantly in thoughts with or a drink.
