There’s a sweet naivety about the music of Paris-born, Idaho-based singer, songwriter, and musician Zave Nathan. An easy-listening purity about songs like “A Pretty Girl Like You,” “Give Me the Night,” and “Breaks My Heart” that you could easily imagine spilling out of car speakers when you’re tuned into some identikit local radio station and driving after midnight. There’s also a wonderful goofiness about a song like “Addicted to Poker” that hints at a Randy Newman influence. It’s classic, American pop-rock that fans of Billy Joel will lap up. He’s even got a Christmas song.
