Former busker Damien Rice makes his mark with “O.” It’s an album full of appealing lyrics and beautifully produced instrumentation complementing his original-sounding voice.
Born in Dublin, Rice sings quietly throughout the album, yet honestly sings about experiences in romance and other aspects of life.
The album was released overseas over a year ago, and is just now surfacing in North America. Rice performs on The Late Show with David Letterman June 10.
