Pop Making Sense
by David Byrne with Tony Peregrin
2009-02-25

"East Coast singer-songwriter Dan Manjovi has a knack for penning pop pleasures, coming across as a hybrid of Elton John, Dave Matthews and Kenny Loggins. On his sophomore effort, Woke up This Morning, the out recording artist pines for respect and fulfillment through fame on Celebrity. Considering today's economic climate and the hopefulness surrounding President Obama, “Things'll Get Better” captures some much-needed optimism. “Is Anybody Watching?,” another one of this album's highlights, presents a social critique masked with a great sing-along quality. Woke up This Morning, which topped the Out Voice Network Top 10, is available now."
