Brown’s sophomore album, Love Will Find You (out now) takes a remarkable u-turn from the humble, acoustic sound of his debut. Donning a pompadour and layering up his tracks with a Spectorlike wall of sound, Brown traded in the simplicity of his first record for what he calls “an onslaught.” The album bubbles over with orchestral arrangements and vocals that have already drawn too many Roy Orbison comparisons to count, all grounded by Brown’s uncanny knack for vintage-styled songwriting. It would sound more at home playing on an RCA Victor radio than iTunes. “Really, the most important thing to me is writing good songs,” he says. “A lot of the songs I’ve fallen in love with have been from the Brill Building. The hits, you know? Those classic hits that are always going to be around.”

The title track of the new album fits in quite nicely among the hits of Brill writers like Burt Bacharach and Carole King, thanks in part to Brown’s refusal to add any modern twists to the classic style. – Paste Magazine
