My Take

Michael Penn is one of those quietly brilliant songwriters who never got the spotlight he deserved. His 1989 single 'No Myth' was a genuine top-20 gem, sharp and literate in a way pop rarely allows, and he kept writing with that same care long after the charts moved on. Coming from a famous acting family, he chose music and pursued it on his own terms, eventually moving into film scoring as well. He's not flashy; he's the kind of artist whose work rewards the people who actually listen closely. Discovering a craftsman like Penn is exactly the sort of find that makes me happy.

Overview
