Dave Gahan - Hourglass Released in US Today!

Dave Gahan's new solo album is released today in the U.S.!  This is certainly some of Dave's best work and the music is quite varied so you will find yourself playing it over and over again.  "Saw Something" is truly one of the most moving songs I have heard from Dave and his vocal training paid off big time.  Awesome song, WOW!  "Kingdom" is the current single that Dave Gahan has out and it is ripping up the charts.  "Deeper and Deeper" is intense and has a slight Nine Inch Nails sound to it, yet it is distinctly Dave Gahan! 

You can hear samples of all the songs on Dave Gahan's MySpace.

This album brings my husband close to mind because he has been a life-long fan of Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan since their very first album.  This is something I admire about Robert - he doesn't change direction to fit in or belong, i.e. jumping from Depeche Mode to Country Music.  What he likes he sticks with - plain and simple. Another example is Peter Cincotti; Robert bought his first album before most people knew who he was and now his third album "East of Angel Town" is his guaranteed super hit that will make him know worldwide.

Dave Gahan's Hourglass

Robert has been listening to Dave Gahan and Depeche Mode since he was a kid.  Robert has always been consistent with the type of music he enjoys and doesn't change with whatever the direction the wind is blowing.  One of our best memories is seeing Depeche Mode in concert two nights in a row and in both cases we had 1st row seats, it was unbelieveable and such a fun night!  Below is Dave Gahan's first single and video "Kingdom".  Make sure you buy the CD when it comes to the United States in October.  It is quite amazing that Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Depeche Mode keep getting better and better as time goes on!

Dave Gahan's life is an example of how you can overcome numerous challenges and at the end of them become a happier person with even more to offer to this world.  This reminds me of my husband's walk through life. Robert is not only a wonderful husband but also an awesome father!  Dave Gahan looks happier and sounds even better to the ears.  New and old fans of Dave Gahan have much to rejoice with the upcoming release of Hourglass.  You can pre-order Dave Gahan's new album Hourglass via the Amazon.com link below.
