The Morning Blog Wednesday March 18
We chat to Idol's most recent winner, Wes Carr. He is kicking goals with his first couple of singles, You and Feels Like Woah, from his debut album, The Way The World Looks. We chat to Wes about his post-idol life, being a music heavyweight and living in Bondi!
We chat to Wes about living in Bondi, and how he knows the guys from Bondi Rescue as he often goes down there to swim and relax. Wes is looking forward to meeting fans this Sunday @ Doncaster Shoppingtown from 2pm, where he will be performing and signing copies of his latest CD! Make sure you get down there!
Singer/songwriter Wes
Carr can be described as many things – overnight success, is not one of them.
For most of his 26 years this talented artist has put the hard-graft,
determination and commitment into his love of musicianship and creative
e
xpression. Over the years his hard slog has won him scholarships,
peer-approval, acclaim, and competitions, but what drives his passion to
continue is the truth in his music. It’s this authenticity and musical
integrity that will secure him a good place in the charts today, and it’s this
that is at the heart of the connection he has with audiences around Australia.
THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS is the story of Wes Carr. The album represents his musical progression and achievements over time. The twelve song collection includes the hit single You, eight new co-writes from Wes, and three songs that he had written over the years.
“This new album is definitely more upbeat and a positive outlook for me, and has flavours from all my past and present influences. I think there’s a broader sensibility to my work now. The big difference now is that I’m more comfortable with my musicianship.”
