Review from The Run-Off Groove by The Run-Off Groove
Not sure about you, but to me pop music has been going in the wrong direction for the last... oh, decade or two. When I am in a pop mood, I like it to have a bit of adventure even though one might argue that pop music is not about the adventure, but the need to be accessible to everyone. Sometimes the pop formula is as old as grandpa's bran muffin farts, and one needs to throw in a few new elements to catch the ear of a new generation, or at least my ears. Peter Daily is someone who understands the love of pop, but wants to be able to establish his own identity and not just be someone who carries in the tradition of others. We find out how he does it in Who Is Peter Daily? (Sideshow Media Group), where he throws hints of Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, and even Elton John in the addicting "Hear Me This Time": Day after day, I go on living But I don't Searching for that missing piece That completes my soul I thought that you noticed My shirt, my shoes, and my tie But that went right past you Because you saw the frown down deep in my eyes All I'm saying is just hear me this time What I like about this song is how it's played out, it's not nice seven or eight words in a line, line after line, he does it almost like a dialogue and that intimacy and immediacy can be appealing. Musically it sounds intimate too, as if everyone in the studio is close to each other just creating something they feel everyone will get into . Daily himself also handles synths and drums in some of the songs, so perhaps the self-containment I hear may come from these songs originating as solo tracks. Hearing them open up with the help of other musicians give the song more depth, although they are so well written and arranged that I think he had a good sense of how he wants his music to be heard. Miho Hatori (ex-Cibo Matto) gets another chance to share her style of soul in "Without You", and when her and Daily sing together in circus mode, it sounds perfect. The EP (8 songs clocking in at a little over 25 minutes) was mastered by Deeskee, who has done a lot of underground hip-hop over the years and always manages to bring out the best in the final versions of his work. The drum sounds are a plus, and I'm sure mixer Blake Knight had a hand in how the final drum tracks sound, as they go from sounding straightforward to a bit of added compression to where it almost has a slight golden era hip-hop feel to them. It's not a pop album with hip-hop breaks or any weird hybrid, it's emotional pop music produced and mixed the way I like to hear it. Edgy yet very accessible, I hope people will give him a chance and finally discover who Peter Daily really is.

URB Magazine Review by URB Magazine
In the star-studded, gangsta, beach bum culture that is Los Angeles, there isn't much time to be an indie rock artist, so it's a good thing Daily has deep southern roots to channel that southern twang. The Texas native has traveled around the country playing piano and drums for different bands. One of these gigs was with Pigeon John - it was at that time he decided to come to the forefront with his own songs and is now in the developmental stages of creating his album, Who is Peter Daily. Daily is a fan-friendly artist with consistent blogs on MySpace and Blogspot and has the potential to bring forth great music from La La land.
