David Bronson’s new album Questions sees the artist move from his twenties, as documented on his first two records, to tackle his thirties. Obviously inspired by Paul Simon's Graceland/Rhythm of the Saints era, Bronson attempts to capture the emotional and psychological imagery of his experiences.

Questions is David Bronson's third album. I have to admit I wasn't overly struck with his previous release, 2013's The Long Lost. However, Questions sees Bronson taking a slightly different path, and this time around I was really impressed with how memorable the tracks were.

The album kicks off with the very Nik Kershaw sounding 'Songbird'. In fact I had to check my iPod on a couple of occasions to check I hadn't accidentally downloaded a long lost Kershaw track.

'Push' is another track worth of note, again, a little Kershaw-esque, and 'Song of Life' will also roll around in your head for days to come.

For me, this was a much more polished and enjoyable listening experience than The Long Lost. It's certainly an album I'll be playing a lot and will most likely return to it in years to come.
