After gaining stardom on Spotify and YouTube, singer-songwriter Dylan Gardner re-released his debut album Adventures In Real Time, this time with the support of his record label, Big Deal Music Publishing.
In 2010, he began writing and recording 100 songs, and two years after he selected the songs that went on to become Adventures In Real Time. As a die-hard Beatles fan, he starts the first song of the album, Let’s Get Started, with “I’ll Be John and You’ll Be Yoko.”
The breakout hit of the album is “Let’s Get Started,” made up of a catchy melody and elaborate lyrics that make a song popular. It achieved mainstream success when the video was shown on Conan and put Gardner on a national platform.
Going for the ever popular slow love song, the second song is “I’m Nothing Without You.” The lyrics are about declaring an incredible love and the song is destined to sell and be successful; it is a typical love song just like the other ones we know and love.
Again going for what sells is “Heroes Tonight.” A song following the trend of the millions that are about being forever young. Despite the fact that songs with that theme are a dime a dozen, “Heroes Tonight” is charming, unbelievably catchy and you can’t help but want to sing along.
At 18, Gardner shows huge potential and talent and Adventures in Real Time shows the maturity that a seasoned professional would have. With time, he could easily become a household name.
