Phil Common

Anyone who’s ever described themselves as a singer-songwriter has written their fair share of melodramatic love songs. But let’s be honest, these songs are often drenched in sappy lyrics and often sound the same. So what’s a hopeless romantic to do? They can start by listening to Phil Common’s track “Something So Wrong”. This New York crooner blows a breath of fresh air into the otherwise stale world of boy-meets-girl pop songs, and dares to ask the question, “how can something so wrong feel so right?” Mr. Common delivers a powerhouse anthem for those bitten then conflicted by a pesky love bug with a fantastic fanfare of blistering horns and twangy guitar riffs. If you’re a fan of The Hold Steady and recent Goo Goo Dolls’ releases, you should definitely give the rest of Phil’s catalogue a listen. The track is off to a strong start on OurStage’s pop Channel for this month, so be sure to add it to your favorites!
