Paul Otten: Home
Singer-songwriter Paul Otten's music is infectious, melody-drenched Piano-Pop and Acoustic-Guitar-Rock, with shades of Electronica, Bluegrass and Funk, that sounds like Sting singing with Steely Dan playing Coldplay, Ben Folds and Keane songs on a Squeeze tribute album to The Beatles.
Bad Parade is Available on ITunes
Paul Otten is currently working on tracks for a new album. Stay tuned for a release date. You can catch Paul performing his songs from Bad Parade and the new songs with his new band Bad Parade at various Cincinnati and Northern KY venues.
| "One of the top 20 independent CDs we found anywhere in the world in the past year."--IntelligentPop.com |
| "Produced by Not Lame fave Brian Lovely, Otten blends his piano-based pop in the classic sounds of Squeeze, Spymob(a lot!), Guster, Ben Folds and dashes of Steely Dan. The charms are many, the melodies for real and the songcraft something special to behold." Bruce Bodeen - Not Lame Recording Company |
| "Hey Paul, I came across a link to your website through the David Gray message board. I have to say that I am absolutely ADDICTED to "Find Myself". I have listened to it at least 20 times today since I bought it from I-Tunes. When the chorus kicks in "But I know that she finds me when.. I can't find myself"... god.. gives me chills :)
I'm a GIANT fan of Coldplay and David Gray(going to see him in DC Saturday!) and have just recently discovered Keane's"Bend and Break", so your music struck a chord with me instantly!
Thanks for making such a great record. I'll listen to it forever." Mark" Millboro, Virginia
