Mark Westin: What They Say

If you enjoy funny song lyrics, you need to give Mark Westin’s latest album a listen. Dark Humour is packed with songs whose cleverness is the envy of humorists like me.

I, for one, can’t resist titles like Narcissistic As Me, Open Mike, When Beautiful People Break Up, and the soon to be classic Falling In Love On Facebook

So check it out — you’ll love the lyrics. Besides, Mark Westin plays a mean guitar.

"Literate pop bubbled up from a cauldron of funky influences and ladled out with a spicy cynical zest."

"Congratulations on a masterpiece."

"Dude, this sh*t is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS RECORD, it was worth the wait."

“Listening to Mark Westin's 'Dirty Folk', my first reactions were, ‘Hell no, he didn't just go there, did he?’ But after a few spins, I found myself thinking, ‘Yes, and more than that, I'm damn glad he did’. The world benefits from singer-songwriters who are not afraid to take on sacred cows in their music.”

“[Move From Center is] a great disc…a bit of American irony via song.”

“A great blend of provocative lyrics and pointed humor.”

“[Mark Westin] concocts a subtle brew that rewards your attention…the melody may be pleasant and poppy, but don’t go to sleep on the words or you’ll miss all the fun.”

“Mark is that rare artist with brains and balls in equal measure.”

“You should try to write songs for people like Madonna. If you’ve got a track record of hits for other people, you can do whatever you like in this business. Writing your own songs is not the way to go.”
