Alright, let’s dive into A Face In A Crowd I Lie by David Del Conte. This little gem from the US, released under Delcon Records, is a cool mix of Rock, Funk, and Soul vibes with a sprinkle of that old-school Doo Wop charm. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but man, does it have character.
The title track, “A Face In A Crowd,” sticks with you. It’s one of those songs that sneaks up on you after a couple listens. The groove is smooth—like butter on warm toast—and there’s this raw soulfulness in Del Conte’s voice that feels honest, you know? It’s not overproduced or shiny; it’s got grit. You can almost picture him standing in some smoky club back in the day, just pouring his heart out. The lyrics aren’t rocket science, but they’re relatable enough to make you nod along like, “Yeah, I’ve felt that too.”
Then there’s “I Lie.” Whoa, this one hits different. It’s kind of moody, with a funky bassline that grabs your attention right away. There’s something about how Del Conte delivers the line “I lie” (you guessed it, probably about lying) that makes it feel both playful and kinda heavy at the same time. Like, is he owning up to being shady, or is he just messing with us? Either way, it’s catchy as heck, and the harmonies in the background give it that classic Doo Wop vibe that’ll have you humming it for hours.
What I love most about this album is how unapologetically human it feels. It doesn’t try to be perfect—it lets its imperfections shine through, and honestly, that’s what makes it memorable. Plus, who else is naming their album A Face In A Crowd I Lie? Feels like a random thought someone had at 2 AM and just ran with it. And you know what? That’s awesome.
So yeah, if you’re into music that feels real and lived-in, give this one a spin. It’s not gonna change your life or anything, but it might remind you of why we all love music in the first place—to connect, to feel something, and maybe even chuckle at a weirdly great title like A Face In A Crowd I Lie. Oh, and fun fact: I listened to this while eating cereal, and now I’m convinced it pairs perfectly with Frosted Flakes. Don’t ask me why—it just works.
