Seth Glier - If I Could Change One Thing [CD]

On his fourth album for MPress Records, I Could Change One Thing, Glier embraces a genuine modern-pop direction, marking a bold departure from his previous, more acoustic recordings and the beginning of an exciting relationship with Los Angeles-based producer/songwriter Bill Lefler (Ingrid Michaelson, Dashboard Confessional). Glier explains: Bill's energy, drive, and experience gave me a safe place to get creative and tap into a deeper part of my inner voice that has yet to be heard on any of my previous albums. The album includes a gorgeous duet with American Idol's Crystal Bowersox, as well as musical appearances by Pat Matera (Katy Perry) and Daniel Rhine (Sara Bareilles). Featuring collaborations with renowned songwriter Trent Dabbs (Girls Chase Boys, Ingrid Michaelson), hitmaker Steve Seskin (Tim McGraw, Peter Frampton), and Alex Wong (Delta Rae), If I Could Change One Thing merges genres seamlessly, with universal songs about falling in and out of love and social action that capture a songwriter and performer at the peak of his young abilities. Despite his relatively young age, Seth Glier is a seasoned troubadour. A singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who averages over 250 live performances annually, Seth has gone from opening act to headlining his own shows and playing major festivals. He has shared the stage with artists James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, Edwin McCain, Emmylou Harris and Ryan Adams and has quickly become known for his passionate live sets and powerful command of both piano and guitar. His music has also caught the ears of fans and critics alike, with USA Today raving his exquisite tenor echoes Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. Building on the acclaim of his Grammyr-nominated sophomore album The Next Right Thing, Glier's subsequent record Things I Should Let You Know was praised by M Music & Musicians Magazine for it's shimmering, seductive melodies.
