Single Review: Ed Roman “Red Omen”

 

I had to admit, when I saw pictures of Ed Roman, I couldn’t believe that was him. His voice on the title track of his latest album, “Red Omen,” sounds quite youthful, and the verbosity reminded me of very early Springsteen, perhaps a hint of “Rosalita”. I wouldn’t know how to sing along to this song (and that is NOT a bad thing!) but I’m quite sure that its down-to-earth feeling makes him the perfect intimate-venue performer. Plus, it’s like the perfect song to listen to, when you have a beer at home. Both “Red Omen” and previous single release, “I Am Love,” are a shot of energy from a man who proves that age is only a number.  Once again, we’re talking about personality and the timeless vibe here.

Ed Roman is an Award-winning singer/songwriter, performer and multi-instrumentalist from Shelburne, Ontario, Canada. Blurring the lines between pop, rock, folk, and country music genres, Ed’s uniquely crafted songs have received regular rotation on more than 100 terrestrial radio stations across North America and more than 600 stations, worldwide.
