Review by David Bowers

Liam Hayes' latest album, Dans La Tête De Charles Swan III, is a mesmerizing collection of songs that showcase his unique talent as a singer-songwriter. The album is a perfect blend of Hayes' signature style and the French chanson tradition, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Theme From Charles Swan III," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Hayes' voice is soft and melancholic, adding a touch of vulnerability to the already emotional lyrics. The instrumentation is sparse, with a simple piano melody and occasional strings, allowing Hayes' voice to take center stage.

Throughout the album, Hayes explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and relatable. Tracks like "Tell Me Why" and "So Much Music" showcase Hayes' skill as a storyteller, while "One Way Out" and "The Fool" are more upbeat and playful, adding a touch of levity to the record.
