Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Cody Lawless defies all the gloomy Guses out there and generates music that is fun and blissful. Armed with his indefatigable falsetto, Lawless delivers his best tune, the flirtatious, sexy-lite “Grace,” one of those songs that strikes you instantly and won’t let go, right down to the cool bridge and the bass solo that wraps it all up. Not as catchy or effective is “Get There, Stay There,” which has a similar energy, just not the same magic, despite the dreamy backup vocals. Lawless gets back on track with “Friday Night With the Neighbors,” which has a slower, studied pace, and is downright easygoing, not to mention catchy. This artist offers ideal sounds for the summer.
