“If you didn’t know the name Connor Daly before, that ends today. The 25-year old Virginia native just dropped his debut album, Colors Fade, a collection of lived-in tunes about love, heartache and the hues of emotion that shade our lives. The dozen-track release marks a long time coming for the singer-songwriter, who has, for years, been honing his song-spinning craft… What has resulted is an album full of honest and intuitive songs, many stripped bare to let their gripping words take hold… Daly flexes his skills across the entire release, deftly traversing weighty themes and artfully weaving personal experiences into striking sing-alongs that not only resonate but seem to understand.”

“There’s no shortage of up-and-coming artists in today’s realms of Americana…however few of them make as immediate impression as singer/songwriter Connor Daly… Connor creates a sound that sounds as if it’s resided in the ethos forever, thanks to songs that make an immediate and lingering impression. The melodies resonate through the consciousness and stir the senses, creating an indelible bond that’s memorable, melodic, and remarkably resolute… Comprised of twelve original songs, it easily qualifies as one of the most impressive debuts of the year… In truth, it’s difficult to delineate any single stand-out. Every song is as sumptuous, seductive, poignant and personal as the one before… ”

“Connor Daly has crafted tender and merciful country style songs…A collection of heartaches, heartbreaks, caring for our fellow humans and picturesque landscape metaphors, this album confronts life difficulties with a gentle resignation… Connor writes sincere quality songs, mostly of heartaches and sometimes of good times with lovely landscape analogies and just the right turn of phrase.”

“Hailing from Virginia, but now Nashville-based, singer-songwriter Connor Daly is a new name to me, but based on the evidence of this debut album, someone I am going to be listening to for years to come. This record is both humble and groundbreaking… Connor’s voice is smooth and exquisite, each musician adding painterly, cinematic elements to create a blend of swirling musicianship, transcendent narratives, classical country and folk depth. This is indeed the finest proof of the enduring need for the album format and should place Connor Daly in the much-deserved spotlight”

“This was an unexpected album. Daly absolutely shines on this record… His tone is truly remarkable, soft but clear. There is also the exact right amount of both instrumentation and production on this record, Daly has a beautiful voice and its right that it gets the spotlight it does… Much more on the acoustic and Americana side than a country album, for us, this is exquisite.”
- Maverick
“Emotional intelligence is at the core of this sensational singer-songwriter’s exquisite musicality. At twenty-five, Connor Daly has the world at his feet. Despite his relative youthfulness, Daly maturely analyzes a full spectrum of human experiences in these songs… Daly’s songs are exhilarating in their contemporary style. They are thoughtfully written, immaculately played and stunningly produced… And remember, you saw him here first.”
