The Painter’s Brush (2012)

Beautiful melodies and more explorative styles

This was Shayne’s last album from the middle period that had begun with “Curve,” continuing some of the same ideas but with an emphasis on virtuosic melodies rather than dance sequences. Styles range from trance to chill-out to electro-pop. There are four songs and eight instrumentals with romantic lyrics and breathtaking soundscapes. The final track is clearly the bridge into his next album, “The Hero.” Be carried away on this musical journey from ShaYne.
