BRADLEY MCCAW RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO OF BTS FOOTAGE FOR “DAYDREAMING GIRL”
In an exclusive premiere with V13, music journalist Aaron Willschick remarked, “McCaw is deliberate in his attempt to inject a lot of feel-good vibes into his music. There are lots of catchy pop melodies, Motown vibes, and ’80s FM radio energy within this recording… a soulful and catchy batch of tunes.”
Delivering the lead single “I Want You Back” — a romantic retro groove, inspired by LA legends Toto and Boz Scaggs on April 14 — McCaw hit the ground running, introducing a nostalgic, retro, and exquisitely catchy sound. Continuing to share a taste of the new record, the sophomore release “Daydreaming Girl” dropped on June 9 and premiered exclusively with Top Shelf Music Magazine where they raved: “The track exudes pure, feel-good rock vibes, enhanced by the soaring saxophone played by none other than Australian music legend Andrew Oh. With the saxophone leading the way, the band’s energy becomes unstoppable, charging forward like a runaway train.”
The record is produced by L.A. session legend, member of the acclaimed The Wrecking Crew and guitarist Louie Shelton who has worked with Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, Neil Diamond among many others. Also featured on the album is bass player Nathan East, founding member of contemporary jazz group Fourplay, who has collaborated with legendary artists such as Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins and Stevie Wonder and more.
After writing several successful musical productions in Australia, McCaw is now best known for his music as an award-winning singer/songwriter, combining blue-eyed soul and the essence of Motown with rock-n-roll energy and catchy pop melodies, all of which are ever present on Worried Minds. Having released five singles in the past year, he’s expanded his audience to over 80 different countries, gaining attention on major Australian TV networks, charted Top Ten on the iTunes Charts, performed a sold out show in New York City and reached over 2.5 million streams on his Facebook videos alone.
It wasn’t until four years after recording the albums original band sessions with Louie Shelton and a slew of local musicians in the studio when the pandemic hit, that McCaw realized he, like many people, had lost his way and couldn’t remember what dream he was chasing anymore. “I needed a new beginning. And being made to stop gave me a reset button or a second chance,” McCaw admits. “I knew it was time to finish this project and create music like my idols. The music that helped me find joy in my own life.” And that he did.
