Everyone knows Tom Felton best for playing Draco Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" movies, but today, his debut single, "Hawaii" was revealed for the first time. After hearing it, one can't help but wonder....is he really serious?
Tom Felton's fans will know that he has always been into music. His website, Feltbeats, which has news about the star, also holds many videos of him performing some of his tracks. His guitar playing is beautiful but his voice and lyrics could use some work.
His debut single, "Hawaii" is a rather jovial track, but it almost sounds like a spoof attempt at music making. The lyrics are quite comical, a bit like The Streets, but with a tune instead of monotonous speaking. Tom Felton has an unmistakable speaking voice, but it was not one that was made for recording songs. It's easy to tell who the vocals belong to, but unfortunately, they aren't great.
So, is he really attempting to break into the music scene with this track? Possibly. Tom Felton already has a solid fan base which should guarantee him a few sales, and his love of music is very clear. Many actors have tried to make it as pop stars, with varying degrees of success. It would certainly be a change for him to be himself after ten years of playing a character!
While "Hawaii" isn't up there with the best music ever made, it does have a certain appeal. Comedy lyrics always go down well with music fans, and while Tom Felton isn't the best singer, there is a place for this kind of music. It is unlikely that "Hawaii" will ever reach the top of the charts, but there are definitely people who will appreciate his efforts.

Post a CommentLOL. Sometimes I think celebs should stay in their originally fields. I see actors/actresses try to sing and vice versa. It usually is not a pretty sight - but some do have talen. I have not heard Tom's and probably won't so I can't judge there.
