Dave Dobbyn is one of New Zealand's most inventive singer-songwriters, an artist whose humour and energy meet the intelligence of a songsmith of rare insight and enduring pleasure.
The first single 'Just Add Water' echoes the quirkiness of 'Slice of Heaven', his huge hit from the Footrot Flats soundtrack of 1986. Co-produced by Ian Morris, one of Dobbyn's closest friends and musical collaborators, "Hopetown" has been instantly hailed as the finest ever work from this consummate musician, with the overall optimism of the writing singled out as the most welcome feature. |
