Album Review: Dream Your Life Away // Vance Joy
James Keogh, better known as Vance Joy, rose to fame in early 2013 after the release of their first EP God loves you when you're dancing. The EP contains the first two singles Keogh who have created a lifetime of opportunities and success for him. His most notable song 'Riptide' appeared in advertisements, listings of vacation around the world and even in The Inbetweeners 2 - movie that was filmed in the country Keogh, Australia. After its great success, what can we expect from their debut album?
Dream your life away sends you back into your own land of dreams where everything is perfect, including the soundtrack. The debut album called Vance Joy maintains its high level of passionate writing and voice.
If you've heard of the first two singles boy Ozzy, you know for sure that you are definitely in for a treat when you lose yourself in this album. Each track is blessed with unique letters emphasize the singers anxiety, dissatisfaction, and motivation to keep going. Along with the songs that pull on our heartstrings, voice Vance Joy push us to our own world of perfection, passion and purity. It is an album that every one of us can relate.
Without trying to sound too positive, the track reached only number 20 in the UK charts. Vance Joy is not clear to everyone. Their unique sound, voices and harmonies feed can only be endured for a long time before you decide you've had enough to remember the past and you find yourself snapping back into reality. The album is full of emotional songs ... I do not want for yourself too low.
Some songs on the album are more forgettable than others, but that cannot always compare slower songs of the album from the likes of 'Riptide'. Each track has beautiful elements of their own rights, some just seem to stand out more than others. This is due to strong Keogh more meaningful lyrics and vocal tones; 'We All Die Trying to Get It Right' is especially touching. Stresses that the listener songs Keogh would stress, while others are somewhat more muted tracks filler. Their efforts are not for everyone, but the story it tells is definitely worth listening ... if only once.
Despite this, you cannot blame the sound of the album and if indie-folk is your kind of thing, you'll love. For a debut album, you cannot get much better than this. I just hope his albums in the future reach a higher standard, and he continues to produce hit singles that have a connection with listeners and infuse their passion for singing about issues.

James Bay And Vance Joy Will Support Taylor Swift On Tour
Two singers fill the blank in the bill
Taylor Swift will be accompanied on his European tour by a couple of singers: James Bay and Vance Joy.
This marks an incredible start to the year for the singer Bay, which has already won a Brit Award and recently was the second in the BBC Sound of 2015 poll. Australian crooner Vance Joy is also supporting Swift on her US tour.
Swift's tour is undoubtedly one of the most important events of the pop in the year - especially because even with a ban on Spotify, his extraordinary 1989 album is unavoidable.

'Riptide' Singer Vance Joy Just Got His Best Gig Ever
Vance Joy has not been able to tell anyone until today, but that just landed the most coveted gigs all - the slot opening 1989 World Tour Taylor Swift.
"I've kept pretty tight-lipped," says the Australian singer-songwriter, known for his crossover smash Riptide, saying he shared the news with his parents yesterday. "It's one of those things you want to tell people immediately."
The 26-year-old native of Melbourne, Australia, whose birth name is James Keogh, I was pretty sure I had landed the gig when Swift covered Riptide for BBC Radio 1 in England. "I was confirmed that he loved the song and knew me and was in the things he was doing," he says.
The two met for the first time last week before the appearance of Swift on The Late Show with David Letterman. "I came backstage while she was doing the soundcheck and I met her and her team and her band," he says. "She was warm and friendly and obviously excited about the tour. It's great to meet someone with such a strong vision and it's all over all parts of the agreement."
Joy released their debut album, Dream Your Life Away, September 9 in the US and is currently leading a club tour. He played for 15,000 or more people at Lollapalooza in August, but, otherwise, he says, "the greatest show I've played is like 2,000 people, so playing stadiums will be an incredible challenge, but also exciting. Acting front so many people I will do a better performer.
"It's definitely the biggest thing we've been part scale."
"Stoked that @taylorswift13 invited the band and I on her North American tour next year. Going to play some big venues"
