Timing Is Everything

Chris de Burgh

Polished 2000s adult contemporary pop exploring the complexities of modern romance, secret lives, and the digital age through narrative songwriting.

Find on Amazon

It's like a collection of short stories about secret romances and 2000s cell phone drama set to really smooth pop.

A polished and slightly theatrical exploration of mature love, secrets, and the passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift to a Middle Eastern melodic scale and percussion on Lebanese Night
The rhythmic pulse of the SMS alert sound integrated into the arrangement of Save Me
The weary vocal delivery on The Best That Love Can Be that captures the exhaustion of a fading spark
