David Ford- I Sincerely apologise for all the trouble I've caused

After impressing a Columbia Records scout during this years South by South West festival, David Ford had found someone willing to release his debut album. Whether or not this person still works for Columbia Records I don’t know, but one thing’s certain I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I’ve Caused will be an album they’d rather forget.
In Britain Ford’s homeland, he’s been heavily compared to James Blunt. Yes that tone-deaf runt who sounds like he’s drowning. Unfortunately it’s not just his voice in comparison, but his overall musical sound. Like Blunt Ford relies on the good old generic clichés, relationships, loneliness and everything we associate with emo’. What’s worse is his attempt to shake off the mainstream tag, by saying ‘fuck’ a few times. He even has a song titled ‘Cheer up (you miserable fuck)’. Someone clearly forgot to tell this guy his music only appeals to desperate housewives and soccer mums.
