Single Review: Love Doesn’t Live Here by Bryan Cole

bcmgmt — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:51:21 +0000

Bryan Cole may not have been born in the country, but that doesn’t mean that this up-and-coming country artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a city-slicker by any means. Passed down by three generations of family before him, you might say that “country” runs long and deep in Cole’s veins. By embracing the traditions of yesteryear’s’ legendary performers, while honing his own God-given vocal and guitar-playing abilities, Cole has cultivated a sound that is uniquely his. While finding success with his debut record titled “Wide Open Road (Perfect Vision)”, which was released in 2010 and stayed in the top 10 on the Roots Report Pop Country Chart for over 4 months, Cole continues to improve his craft.

Cole is back and recently released his second single from his forthcoming “Pride And Passion” cd, called “Love Doesn’t Live Here”. The single was recorded, mixed, and produced by Cole, along with songwriter/manager Michael Stover and keyboard player Hermie Granati. The song is a well written song that allows Cole’s beautiful vocals to shine. Cole sings of a relationship in which he knew exactly what he was looking for, but his significant other was a little too late in realizing she wanted the same.

The song has a nice vibe and feel to it. While the song has a more traditional country music feels, listeners can hear some pop and even soft rock influences in it. It’s as if Ronnie Dunn, Rascal Flatts, and Journey merged into one artist. It’s a mixture that creates a uniquely great sound that is driven home by Cole’s beautiful vocals. It’s refreshing and new and should turn heads in the industry. For more information, please visitwww.bryancolemusic.com or visit the links section on our website.
