7.20.12 - New Music - Reece Mastin

Remember when I mentioned <a href="http://popbangboom.blogspot.com/2011/12/listen-up-reece-mastin.html">Reece Mastin</a>? Well, after hitting #1 (in Australia) with his debut single “Good Night” off his debut self-titled album, Reece is back.

The song debuted at #1 in his homeland, making it his second such song to do so. “Shout It Out” is the second single off his upcoming second album, which should be out…sometime? He’s doing really well in Australia, so I’m sure they will try to get that out as fast as they can.

The song is nothing we haven’t heard, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still catchy and fun. 17 year old Mastin plays the whole pop-punk-but-really-just-pop thing well. Think Pink, but not as original or sassy. Mastin is a harmless pop kiddo, and that’s why I like him. Much as I love a good song about drinking and sex, our kids need something to listen to! In the wake of Hannah Montana disappearing and Rebecca Black being killed in that terrible mob (I’m just assuming this will happen), there needs to be a few acts that are making songs youngins can jam to. Reece fills just such a hole (hehe).

“Shout It Out” is unfortunately not available in the US, but if he ever gets those teeth fixed, maybe he can make it over here?
