Unfortunately, Dennen's effervescent melodies and buttery vocals ("Closer to You," "So Far From Me") will draw lines toward his fluffy beachcomber pal Jack Johnson. Disregard: Jimmy Cliff and Jimmy Buffet share more intellectual property. Focus instead on Dennen's engaging, largely enchanting, first-person vignettes. Fluid storytelling anchors vibrant narratives that forge and forgive, sketching cinematic portraits of maturation both charming in vulnerability and breathless in ambition...

There's a bias among many that for something to be artistic, it has to be dark and moody. Poetry is only high art, they reason, if it dwells on the negative aspects of the human experience.

With his androgynous voice, romantic inclinations and gift for neoclassic songcraft, Dennen has built a devoted following while existing outside of any trend or movement --which is why cynics find him such a turn-off...

Sound: Taking one quart bohemian-folk, a pint of smooth rock and a full cup of luxuriating acoustic-pop and you've got a sonic laite specially made by Brett Dennen. His new album Hope For The Hopeless is puddled by pensive lyrics and reflecting pools of Americana-stylized melodies that deepen the hazy intonations in Dennen's vocals...

Remember that counselor from summer camp, the one who would always bring out his acoustic guitar and get all the kids to sing along to James Taylor and Van Morrison? That's 28-year-old Brett Dennen in a nutshell: His clear, melodic voice and easy-like-Sunday-morning compositions (see: "San Francisco," "Closer to You") are both benign and comforting on Hope for the Hopeless...
