The former vocalist for power pop faves Semisonic, Dan Wilson has spent the seven years since his last solo record penning hits for the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift. So yes, Wilson knows his way around a song. That fact is on full display on Love Without Fear. Wilson delivers an honest and open set of pop songs like the harmonious title track and “When It Pleases You” in addition to gorgeous ballads like “I Can Never Stay Mad At You” and “Disappearing.” Love Without Fear is a keeper for those that still value the art of songwriting.
