He released his debut single called "Home" which he performed during his stay at AI as his coronation song.
AI has been going downhill recently and I didn't expect that they'll put out a great song like Home. Perhaps there is still hope for this show after all. Phillip deserved to win the show and the album is amazing. Too bad I stopped watching the show so I don't know if they can bring out good artists and music again this year.
But enough abut Idol. Phillip's debut album was quite successful thanks to Home. The song was even used during the Olympics last year. The song is now one of the best selling tracks from an Idol contestant ever.
But Home is not just the only good song. I've been listening to this album a lot and I have grown to love the songs even more. It has a Dave Matthews Band feel to it and that's not bad at all.
His voice was spot on and I love the whole aura of the album. It's a perfect album to listen to on a sunny afternoon and in a roadtrip. It's not filled with boring mediocre tracks or very fast tracks that are uncharacteristic of his style but the songs just have enough amount of power and control over the beat that shows both his serious and fun side. The lyrics are well-written which is a big plus for me.
I really hope I can see him perform live. I did see him during a mall appearance with fellow AI contestants but didn't really sing. Hopefully he'll come back.
