Dave Sereny - Come Here Baby

Jazz musician Dave Sereny emulates Paul Simon with his new single “Come Here Baby” where he reminisces about his past relationships back drop with jazz grooves. The incorporation of different styles of jazz reminds me of Paul Simon style and vocal tone.

This is a beautifully crafted song with heart-felt romantic lyrics that make you want to sing along and hit repeat, repeat, repeat, Think cold day, fireplace going, snuggled in a blanket, reading a good book – that’s “Come Here Baby”!    The relaxing energy that Sereny brings is not only straight forward jazz but it’s been infused with influences from soul and rock.

From signature-like Paul Simon vocals to amazing melodic guitar licks similar to Santana, Sereny really wants us to enjoy his song just as much as he did when he was writing, composing, singing and playing his electric guitar on this track; the same is the case with the whole album, not just this track.

Unsurprisingly, “Come Here Baby” has been the talk of the R & B community since its release. It has been covered most recently by 94.7FM The Wave’s Stu Berketo where he analyzes Serenys new album “Talk To Me”. He had the following to say about “Come Here Baby”:

 

“Sereny’s vocals once again take center stage on “Come Here Baby”. Delightfully smooth, sultry and bluesy, the unrequited love pains conversely feel great, and it’s easy to find yourself singing along in unison on the refrain and snapping your fingers in perfect tempo.”

–  Stu Berketo, Wave.fm 94.7/95.9 HD2

 

Stu Berketo couldn’t be more right, the theme of unrequited love pains conversely feel great with the R&B perfect tempo he chose for the song. These elements make “Come here baby” impossible not to snap and sing along to.  Although, some might’ve thought that Dave Sereny was done 11 years ago when he released “Take This Ride”, however, “Come Here Baby” proves Dave Sereny is a multi- genre force who is here to stay.

Our dreams have come true! Toronto’s Dave Sereny has released a new single off his highly anticipated album, Talk to Me. The track titled, Jammin’ is a Bob Marley cover and could not be more appropriately named.

Get Hooked on Stephanie in this YouTube music video and Catch it Performed Live in Los Angeles at the Redwood Bar

Stephanie Music Video Screenshot

After following Brian McShea and the Sidemen, I’ve always wanted to see them live, which is why I’m so excited that they’re coming to the Redwood Bar in Los Angeles on July 31st! I heard that the Redwood Bar is pirate themed, I wonder if I should get dressed up to fit in? I think it would be really unique and fun place for Brian McShea and the Sidemen to perform.

I’m most looking forward to hearing them play their new EP, “Real People, Not Actors” live for the first time! The EP was only released a few weeks ago and I’m loving every song on it, especially “Stephanie!” I love how the song builds up progressively to a loud and catchy tune! This is the song I use to show people when I tell people about Brian McShea. I really think their music video for “Stephanie” on YouTube is really fun and fits the song well, while also showing us what Brian McShea and the Sidemen are really about!
