'Remember June' works. Whether it's Damien's incredible vocal ability and writing skills, Stuart Crichton's fantastic production values or an intoxicating combination of both, in our books, 'Remember June' is one hell of an album, littered with epic sounding songs and soaring vocals. It begs you to sit up and listen. And sir Leith, we are.

Auspop 10th October

”Forget what you knew about former Australian Idol Damien Leith and start here. His musicianship is stronger than ever and his band is rocking. Lead single To Get To You is an impressive platform to kick off from.”

Sunday Telegraph 11th October


”If you thought that Damien Leith's fourth album would still be all about his Jeff Buckley-esque falsetto, you'd be wrong, well half wrong, anyway. This time round, the Irish-born Australian Idol mixes a soft, sweet folk sound with harder beats, all of which makes for a lyrical venture on the semi-wild side.”

SUNDAY MAGAZINE Eyes and Ears Section

_____________________________________


“it's clear REMEMBER JUNE is a stand-out album. It's also a wake-up call for the music industry to take Leith more seriously”

”[Remember June} …lifts Leith's original music to a new level. There is a notable absence of cover songs and crooning, with an emphasis on pop rock with an edge. Better still, it's enjoyable in its entirety, with strong tracks from start to finish.”

Sun Herald 9th August - Christine Sams

______________________________________


“…don't think for a moment that 'Remember June' is going to be some flash in the pan pop album. This is something much, much more…

…Epic, grand, polished, eclectic, slick, international…'Remember June' is possibly the strongest album ever to come out of the Australian Idol franchise. Period.”


Auspop September 4th

But even his most ardent fans are yet to discover just how good Leith can be as a singer-songwriter. His album Remember June will be released on Friday and is likely to put Leith into a different category of respect.

Sun Herald S Magazine 4th October

Adelaide Advertiser 22nd October

“…Leith's new sound, one that borrows from the "oh-way-oh" crowd-pleasing rock camp [and] stirs in his Celtic folk”

Courier-Mail 27th August - Kathy McCabe


___________________________

DAMIEN LEITH - To Get To You

If your perception of Damien Leith is that guy from Idol who does songs grandma would love, you'll be surprised by this. His new single sounds more like something Snow Patrol or Keane would produce. It's a good song.

Sunday Times - Chillout Review, 27th September

___________________________


”… a cracker of a CD…Golden Line is a great example of his top-notch songwriting, he even throws a patented falsetto in for good measure. Ditto for the single To Get To You, a powerful, addictive moment. See You Again … is an uplifting standout.”

RATING: **** IN SHORT: polished

Border Mail – 14th October

"On his second studio album, golden-voiced Leith's main intent is to amp up the pop-rock persona — think Keane or Travis, or even a diluted Queen...Key track Forgive, Forget has the killer pop hooks and chorus to give Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody sleepless nights."

LIMITED 7th September

Damien Leith popped by our offices today to show us his new album Remember June and the first single to hit Australian radio "To Get To You" hitting your airwaves on the 14th September. The track got labeled as The Killers meets Roy Orbison and to my surprise..... its true!

KOFFEE – TIME TO CHILL 14TH SEPTEMBER
”… embodies a maturing Leith, with its rich textures of sound reminiscent of the world-dominating outputs of Keane and Coldplay. The successful partnership between Damien Leith and Stuart Crichton has generated an album that brings considerable power and a resounding international quality to the recordings. Leith’s successful and powerful musical journey is markedly set to continue in this inspiring and resonant new album”

This man just screams pure talent and he also has a genuinely lovely voice to listen to…His new song, 'To Get to You', is amazing. I absolutely love it. Screw what other people say about Damien Leith, he will always have a special place in my heart and remain as a singer songwriter with incredible talent.

“The album embodies a maturing Leith, its rich textures of sound not light-years from the world-beating output of Keane and Coldplay.

…This time, Leith has drawn deep from the well of conceptual albums, the likes of which David Bowie and The Who would be proud.

…His vocals are as beautiful as ever, but there's a tougher edge this time around.

Good news!!

The next single off REMEMBER JUNE will be...

It will be going to radio very soon.

Please Im begging Damien to receord this song and put it out on the Aussie Market for consumers to buy. Even though his appearance on SYTYCD was some time ago, I still haven't been able to get that performance out of my head, it was truly breathtaking. Please consider this request as I can guarantee myself and many fans will be lining up to purchase this remarkable song...by Damien Leith!! If recording to CD is too difficult perhaps consider a special member download from your official website. Great marketing strategy and one way of gaining extra hits on your website. Could someone from Damien' team or perhaps Damien himself get back to me regarding this request and if it could be in the pipeline for consideration.

Damien's new single TO GET TO YOU is just the tip of the iceberg!
Really looking forward to seeing the video (hopefully) on TV next weekend!
Request it on radio, spread the word!

Damien's new album REMEMBER JUNE... wow!
It is going to really impress. Throw out any preconceived ideas of what music you think Damien sings.

This is so different to anything Damien has done before- but it is PURE Damien and it is just brilliant.

Every track is solid and well crafted - you'll want to listen to the whole album over & over again.

Already impressed is this reviewer:



Don't miss this Album when it comes out on Oct 9th-
you won't be disappointed!

Let me introduce myself.....I'm Damien's marketing manager here at Sony Music and I'll be working closely with Damien on the release of his new album (which I've had the privilege to hear and I have to tell you.. it's amazing!)

I'm hoping over the next few months we can work together to make sure this album is a huge success. Please drop me a line if you have any suggestions or comments and please keep checking back as I promise to try to update you guys first with news as it happens and I'll be setting little challenges for us all to help spread the word.

Now, you would have noticed we put a call out for Sydney based Damien fans? Well I have some really exciting news! We want you guys to be the first to hear the album!! Let's face it you can't really get excited if you haven't heard it so please message me your email address (privately) and we'll be in contact to organise a special listening session just for you guys. Damien may even make an appearance! (if you don't live in Sydney and can make your own way here we'd love to have you also but be quick there's only limited spaces available)

Thank you so much for all your support so far and I really look forward to working with you all.. and remember if you have any ideas or suggestions please shoot them through, we really want to work with you guys on this one!

cheers,
Team Damo

It's going to be shown on free-to-air TV on ABC1 on the 28th of August, 2008 at 11:30pm. THIS THURSDAY!!


Yes, it's a Thursday... late night shopping ... but it's on at 11:30pm so you won't miss it - even if it is raining!

Imagine tucked up on the lounge with a nice glass of your favourite beverage cuddling up to your squeeze and being serenaded by Damien Leith mmmmmm....

This was a fantastic show with Damien singing with such passion. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. His version of Beautiful, the song he wrote for his originals album "Where We Land" was my absolute favourite ... along with "Baby I Love Your Way" which he performed on the piano. He has such an intimate and interactive style with the audience which is perfect in any setting but just lovely in this setting. Having watched other Live at the Basement specials on TV, I've noticed they also have interviews between songs. That should be really interesting.]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:44:28 +0000 http://forums.damienleith.com.au/index.php?showtopic=721
