Colin Hay’s upcoming release American Sunshine finds Hay reaching a new pinnacle in his storied career -- his songwriting honed by discipline and experience, his unmistakable voice sharpened by a seemingly unending run of sold-out performances both solo and with his band. Noticeably reinvigorated, American Sunshine is a collection of new songs boasting the timeless melodic grace and lyrical wit long associated with Hay, magnified by dynamic, uncluttered performances. For old and new fans alike, American Sunshine marks the welcomed return of an iconic pop underdog, in peak form.
While Colin Hay’s voice and visage are still familiar to millions from his tenure as the charismatic frontman, principal songwriter, and lead vocalist of pop sensation Men at Work (“Down Under,” “Overkill,” “Who Can It Be Now?”), the past ten years have found him quietly re-introducing himself to new generations of fans. The frequent use of his music on soundtracks – including the hit NBC show Scrubs (on which he has also had several cameos) and the sleeper-hit soundtrack to the film Garden State – has proven the timeless appeal of his songs’ personae: quizzical, curious, cynical yet open-hearted.
