Hot on the heels of James Blunt's soft-pop success is Daniel Powter, a small-town Canadian whose debut similarly first conquered Europe. Poppy where Blunt is folky, Powter's tunes follow the Elton John/Billy Joel tradition of radio-friendly piano rock. Lacking the star personality of a Robbie Williams or the wit of a Ben Folds, Powter doesn't rise above his instantly familiar keyboard riffs, yet neither does he drown in them. Instead he rides the hooks that propelled "Bad Day" from its background use in American Idol to the charts, while producer Mitchell Froom supplies the ear candy. Powter's occasional R&B falsetto and light, layered grooves may not ensure him a long career, but neither will they ruin your day.
