6.22.13 - New Music - Gavin DeGraw

I think it’s safe to say that Gavin was heavily “inspired” on his new single, wouldn’t you?

“Best I Ever Had” is the lead from a new project, though the details of what exactly that will be (probably a new album later this year) aren’t clear. The song sounds like Gavin took the words of a Train song and mashed them with Mumford & Sons music. The fast-paced folksy style with horns and a building chorus, the ridiculous lyrics and the silliness of the style all come together to create something that sounds familiar but is still new for Gavin.

Having said that, “Best I Ever Had” certainly has its own charm, and while it may not be an entirely original piece, it is already one of my favorite DeGraw songs.
